Math Problem Statement
Using the Venn Diagram below, what is the conditional probability of event Q occurring, assuming that event P has already happened [P(Q|P)]?
0.55
0.73
0.05
0.75
Solution
To calculate the conditional probability , we use the formula for conditional probability:
From the Venn diagram:
- (the intersection of and ),
- (the total probability of event ).
Now, calculate :
So, the closest answer is .

Here are 5 follow-up questions to consider:
- How would you calculate given the diagram?
- What is the probability of (the union of and )?
- How does the complement rule apply to this problem?
- What is the interpretation of conditional probability in this context?
- How would you calculate the independent probability of both events?
Tip: In Venn diagrams, remember to sum all areas relevant to the set to get total probabilities.
