At an amusement park, the probability that a child eats a hot dog and drinks a soda pop is 0.47. The probability that a child eats a hot dog is 0.69 and the probability that a child drinks soda pop is 0.86. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest hundredth) that a child drinks soda pop given that the child has already eaten a hot dog?

Hint: P (A|B) = P (A∩B) / P (B)

    option D

    0.68

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Conditional Probability:

    Finding the probability of an event given that something else has already happened.

    p (A) = The probability that a child eats a hot dog = 0.69

    p (B) = The probability that a child drinks soda pop = 0.86

    p (A∩B) = The probability that a child eats a hot dog and drinks a soda pop = 0.47

    Formula to use

    P (A|B) = P (A∩B) / P (A)

    = 0.47 / 0.69

    = 0.68
