Question

The probability that an adult smokes cigarettes is 0.14. The probability that an adult has a cardiovascular disease and they smoke cigarettes is 0.028. What is the probability that an adult has a cardiovascular disease given that they smoke cigarettes?

Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

0.20

Explanation:

Use conditional probability:

P(A given B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

P(A given B) = 0.028 / 0.14

P(A given B) = 0.20
