By rewriting the formula for the multiplication rule, you can write a formula for finding P(A and B) conditional probabilities. The conditional probability of event B occurring, given that event A has occurred, is P(B A) Use the information below to find P(A) the probability that a flight departed on time given that it arrives on time. The probability that an airplane flight departs on time is 0.91. The probability that a flight arrives on time is 0.88 The probability that a flight departs and arrives on time is 0.82. The probability that a flight departed on time given that it arrives on time is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

I don't understand how to solve this problem. I tried sovling it as B=0.91 and A=0.88. Therefore (0.91*0.88)/0.88=.91. However the correct answer is 0.932. How do I solve this? I have now idea what I'm doing
