=====MG+========MG- ==Total
H-------18-------------132-------150
B------435-------------315------ 750
G----- -82---------------18------100
Tot====535=========465====1000
a. 82/1000 or 0.082. Also 0.82*0.10
b. 0.535
c. MG is 535 GD is 100-both (double counted) 82= 553 or 0.553 probability.
d. this is 82/535=0.1533
