Answer:
0.0625
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
P(left-handed person is a baseball player ) = 0.015
P(baseball player is a lefthanded person) = 0.240
Required:
Find the probability, that a randomly chosen person from this country plays baseball.
Let,
A = event of being a baseball player
B = event of player being left handed.
Therefore,
P(A and B) = 0.015
P(B|A) = 0.240
To find the probability, that a randomly chosen person from this country plays baseball, use the formula:
P(A) = P(A and B) / P(B|A)
Thus,
[tex]P(A) = \frac{0.015}{0.240}[/tex]
[tex]P(A) = 0.0625[/tex]
Therefore
The probability, that a randomly chosen person from this country plays baseball is 0.0625
