If it rains, I do not go sailing. It rains 10 % 10\% 10% of days; I go sailing 3 % 3\% 3% of days. If it does not rain, what is the (conditional) probability that I go sailing? Written "p(I go sailing | it does not rain)''

Answer:

0.03333 or 1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A =" I go sailing" and B = "it does not rain"

P(A) = 0.03

P(B) =0.90

Since I never go sailing when it rains, P(A and B) =0.03.

Therefore, the (conditional) probability that I go sailing, given that it does not rain is:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)} \\P(A|B)=\frac{0.03}{0.90}=0.033333[/tex]

The probability is 0.03333 or 1/30.
