3. given that rbc has made the graduate an offer, what is the prob that cibc will make her an offer?

Explanation / Answer

let A be the event that RBC will make her an offer

B be the event that CIBC will make her an offer

given that P[A]=0.7   P[B]=0.6   P[A|B]=0.8

1. P[both banks will make her offer]=P[A and B]=P[A|B]*P[B]=0.8*0.6=0.48 [answer]

2. P[at least one bank will make her offer]=P[A or B]=P[A]+P[B]-P[A and B]=0.7+0.6-0.48=0.82 [answer]

3. here we need to find P[B|A]=P[A and B]/P[A]=0.48/0.7=0.6857 [answer]
