At a drug rehab center 35% experience depression and 28% experience weight gain.
14% experience both.
If a patient from from the center is randomly selected, find the possibility that the patient (Round to four decimals points where possible).
a. Experiences neither depression nor weight gain.
b. Experiences depression given that the patient experiences weight gain.
c. Experiences weight gain given that the patient experiences depression.

I will solve problem 1, ONLY.
(a) Experiences neither depression nor weight gain.
P(neither A nor B) = 1 - (P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)) = 1 - (0.35 + 0.28 - 0.14) = 0.51 = 51%. ANSWER
(b) Experiences depression given that the patient experiences weight gain.
It is about finding the CONDITIONAL probability
P = = = = 0.5 = 50%. ANSWER.
(c) Experiences weight gain given that the patient experiences depression.
It is about finding the CONDITIONAL probability, again.
P = = = = = = 0.4 = 40%. ANSWER.
