Answer:
P(C|Y) = 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following table below;
X Y Z Total
A 32 10 28 70
B 6 5 25 36
C 18 15 7 40
Total 56 30 60 146
Now, we have to find the probability of P(C/Y).
As we know that the conditional probability formula of P(A/B) is given by;
P(A/B) = [tex]\frac{P(A \bigcap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]
So, according to our question;
P(C/Y) = [tex]\frac{P(C \bigcap Y)}{P(Y)}[/tex]
Here, P(Y) = [tex]\frac{30}{146}[/tex] and P(C [tex]\bigcap[/tex] Y) = [tex]\frac{15}{146}[/tex] {by seeing third row and second column}
Hence, P(C/Y) = [tex]\frac{\frac{15}{146} }{\frac{30}{146} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{30}[/tex] = 0.5.
