Question 862799: Hello, I am hoping to get some help with Probability. I've been able to answer half of my homework questions but am hitting a wall.
The question is: If I were to randomly select 1 of the 25 individuals in your survey, what is the probability that:
The person shares your shoe size, given that they are shorter than you.
From my surveyed data 17 people are shorter.
My denominator answer is correct with 17. But I don't know what my numerator is.
