Math Problem Statement

Solution

To find P(C1B2)P(B2)P(C_1 | B_2) \cdot P(B_2), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Determine P(C1B2)P(C_1 | B_2), which is the probability of C1C_1 given B2B_2.
  2. Determine P(B2)P(B_2), which is the probability of B2B_2.
  3. Multiply these two probabilities.

From the tree diagram:

  • P(C1B2)P(C_1 | B_2) is given directly by the branch from B2B_2 to C1C_1. This probability is 14\frac{1}{4}.
  • P(B2)P(B_2) is given by the branch leading to B2B_2. This probability is also 14\frac{1}{4}.

Thus, P(C1B2)=14P(C_1 | B_2) = \frac{1}{4} and P(B2)=14P(B_2) = \frac{1}{4}.

Now, multiply these probabilities: P(C1B2)P(B2)=1414=116P(C_1 | B_2) \cdot P(B_2) = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16}

So, the answer is 116\frac{1}{16}.
