Intro Problem: At a local high school, a random sample of students was taken. The students were asked if they thought the administration was doing a good job and whether they eat school lunch.
A = thinks the administration is doing a good job
B = eats school lunch
Results:
55% of the students stated the administration is doing a good job.
50% of the students eat school lunch.
20% of the students think the administration is doing a good job and eat school lunch
We can use this information to determine that given that a student thinks the administration is doing a good job, the probability that the student eats school lunch is .571
In the example above:
P(A) = .55
P(B) = .5
P(A and B) = .2
Project 17: The variables 'pA', 'pB', and 'pAAndB' have been initialized. These variables represent the probability of A, the probability of B, and the probability of A and B.
Task: Appropriately initialize the value of 'pBGivenA' which represents the probability of B given A.
