A man has 2 shirts (one white and one blue) and 2 ties (red and silver). If he wears the white shirt, he chooses the red tie with probability 0.4. if he wears the blue shirt, he chooses the red tie with probability 0.75. the probability that he wears the white shirt is 0.7. A.) Find the probability that he wears the red tie. B.) Given that he is wearing a red tie, find the probability that he picked the blue shirt?
