At a certain car dealership, 20% of customers who bought a new vehicle bought an SUV, and 3% of them bought a black SUV. Given that a customer bought an SUV, what is the probability that it was black?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.15 is the probability that  that a black SUV is bought, given that a customer bought an SUV.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A: customers who bought a new vehicle bought an SUV

B: customers who bought a new vehicle bought an black SUV

[tex]P(A) = 20\%=0.2\\P(B) = 3\%=0.03[/tex]

We have to find the probability that a black SUV is bought, given that a customer bought an SUV.

We have to evaluate:

[tex]P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\\\P(B|A) =\dfrac{0.03}{0.2}=0.15[/tex]

Thus, 0.15 is the probability that  that a black SUV is bought, given that a customer bought an SUV.
