Question 1115895: Blue Nile University recently conducted a survey of undergraduate students in order to
gather information about the usage of the library. The population for this study included
all 4000 undergraduate students enrolled in the university. The library officers are
interested in increasing usage, particularly among females (F) and seniors (S) at the
university. Of the 4000 students, 800 students are seniors, 1800 students are females and
450 of the 1800 females are seniors.

------sr------not sr
men---350-----1850----2200
women-450-----1350----1800
M/F---800-----3200----4000
first one is P(S|F)=0.25 or 450/1800
P(F|S)=450/800=9/16 or 0.56
