Of those fill regular gas only 30% fill their tanks. Of those using plus gas, 60% fill their tanks, whereas those using premium, 50% fill their tanks. Problem #3 (Call event B: that one fills her tank; Hint: given above that P(B/A2-0.6). (i) What is the probability that a customer will use regular gas and fill tank i.e., P(A1nB)? (ii) What is the probability that a customer fills tank P(B)? f a customer fills her tank, what is the probability she has selected premium gas i.e., P(A3 |B)?
