Answer

a. 0.11 b. 0.27 c. 0.407 d. 0.344

Work Step by Step

a. P(blood pressure and cholesterol) = 0.11 b. P(blood pressure) = P(blood pressure and no cholesterol) + P(blood pressure and cholesterol) = 0.11 + 0.16 = 0.27 c. P(cholesterol|blood pressure) = P(blood pressure and cholesterol) / P(blood pressure) = 0.11/0.27 = 0.407 d. P(cholesterol) = P(cholesterol and blood pressure) + P(cholesterol and no blood pressure) = 0.11+ 0.21 = 0.32 P(blood pressure|cholesterol) = P(cholesterol and blood pressure) / P(cholesterol) = 0.11/0.32 = 0.344
