What is the probability that the individual purchased a cup of decaf coffee? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)
(b) If we learn that the selected individual purchased a small cup, what now is the probability that he/she chose decaf coffee?
(Round your answer to three decimal places.)
How would you interpret this probability?
This is the probability of people who choose a --Select--- cup, given that they chose a ---Select--- cup of coffee.
(c) If we learn that the selected individual purchased decaf, what now is the probability that a small size was selected? (Enter
your answer to one decimal place.)
How does this compare to the corresponding unconditional probability of (a)?
