On any day, the probability that a boy eats his prepared lunch is 0:5. the probability that his sister eats her lunch is 0:6. the probability that the girl eats her lunch given that the boy eats his is 0:9. determine the probability that:

Y it is right. Apparently the answer to a) is 920

. However this does not seem to take into account the possibility that the girl ate her lunch first, in which case the probability of both eating is 310
