Answer:
The probability that he also attended the breakfast forum is is 0.5714 = 57.14%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Attended the dinner speech.
Event B: Attended the breakfast forum.
70% attended the dinner speech
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.7[/tex]
40% attended both events.
This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.4[/tex]
The probability that he also attended the breakfast forum is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4}{0.7} = 0.5714[/tex]
The probability that he also attended the breakfast forum is is 0.5714 = 57.14%.
