Hint
Use the stated units and precision. Use the Club A row as the conditional sample space.
Worked solution
(a)
Use the Club A row as the conditional sample space.
Restrict to the 11 Club A members; 5 walk. The fraction is \(\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}\).
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}\)
(b)
Use the walking column rather than reversing the earlier conditional fraction.
Restrict to the 9 walkers; 5 are in A, giving \(\displaystyle \frac{5}{9}\).
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{5}{9}\)
(c)
Restrict to the Club B row.
Among 10 Club B members, 6 take the bus, giving \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}\).
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}\)
