Question 730040:  An ice cream vendor sells three flavors: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Forty five percent of the sales are chocolate, while 30% are strawberry, with the rest vanilla flavored. Sales are by the cone or the cup. The percentages of cones sales for chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, are 75%, 60%, and 40%, respectively. For a randomly selected sale, define the following events:
 
 = chocolate chosen 
 = strawberry chosen 
 = vanilla chosen 
 = ice cream on a cone 
ice cream in a cup
 
Find the probability that the ice cream was vanilla flavor, given that it was sold in a cup.  Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places, in the blank. For exampe, 0.3456 would be a legitimate entry.
