CONDITIONAL AND MARGINAL PROBABILITY - Statistics and probability 1) A study of the behavior of a large number of drug addicts, after treatment for drug abuse, suggests that the probability of being convicted in a period not exceeding two years after of treatment, may depend on the education of the offender. The proportions of the total number of cases that fall into four education/conviction categories are shown in the table below. (IMG 1) Suppose an offender is selected from the treatment program. Here we have the events of interest; A = {offender has 10 years or more of education} B = {offender is convicted no more than two years after completing treatment}. Determine: P(A), P(B), P(A ∩ B), P(A ∪ B), P(A ∩ B)^c, P(A|B) and P(B|A). Interpret the probability.

Suppose an offender is selected from the treatment program. Here we have the
A = {offender has 10 years or more of education}
B = {offender is convicted no more than two years after completing treatment}.
Determine: P(A), P(B), P(A ∩ B), P(A ∪ B), P(A ∩ B)^c, P(A|B) and P(B|A). Interpret the probability.
