You can put this solution on YOUR website! A breeder records probablities for two variables in a population of animals using the two-way table given here. Given that animal is brown-haired what is the probability that that its short haired?
Short haired:: 0.06 brown haired Blond 0.23
Shaggy:::::::: 0.51 Brown haired, Blond 0.20
-----
P(short haired | brown haired)
= P(sh AND bh)/P(bh)
= 0.06/(0.06+0.51)
= 0.1071
