60 of all basketball games were at home games denotes this b
60% of all basketball games were at home games. denotes this by H (the remaining were away games)
25% of the games were wins. denote this by W ( the remaining were losses)
20% of all games were at home wins
of the at home games, a class is interested in finding what proportions were wins.
To determine the % of the at home games that were wins. what needs to be determined first?
P(H/W)
P(H)
P(W/H)
P(W)
P(H and W)
Solution
P(H) = 0.60,
P(W) = 0.25
P(H n W) = 0.20
P(H/W) = P(H n W)/P(W) = 0.20/0.25 = 0.8
P(W/H)= P(H n W)/P(H) = 0.20/0.60 = 0.333
