Question #N595

A survey of 100 people found that 60 people liked apples, 50 people liked bananas, and 20 people liked both apples and bananas. What is the probability that a person surveyed liked apples, given that the person liked bananas?
A. 1/5
B. 3/5
C. 2/3
D. 3/4

Correct Answer is: B

The probability that a person surveyed liked apples given that the person liked bananas is equal to the number of people who liked both apples and bananas divided by the number of people who liked bananas. This gives us 20/50, or 3/5.
