In a certain city 40% of the people have brown hair, 25% have brown eyes and 15% have brown eyes as well as brown hair. If a person selected at random has brown hair, the probability that the also has brown eyes, is equal to |
$\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{3}{8}$ |
$\frac{3}{8}$ |
$E_1$ : Person has brown hair. $E_2$ : Person has brown hair. $P\left(E_1\right)=\frac{40}{100}=\frac{2}{5}$ $P\left(E_2\right)=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$ $P\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right)=\frac{15}{100}=\frac{3}{20}$ $P\left(E_2 / E_1\right)=\frac{P\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right)}{P\left(E_1\right)}$ $=\frac{3 / 20}{2 / 5}=\frac{3}{8}$ |
