At the Kennel Club Dog Show, a professional show judge measures tail lengths and hind leg lengths of
Great Danes. The ideal ratio for the breed is inch of tail length for every inch of hind leg length.
If a Great Dane's tail length is 24 inches, what is the ideal hind leg length?
8 inches
B
27 inches
O
36 inches

range is infinite on both x and y axis positive and negative

step-by-step explanation:

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
