**Publishing** The table shows the results of a survey of 100 authors by a publishing company.| | New Authors | Established Authors | Total ||----------------------|-------------|---------------------|-------|| Successful | 15 | 20 | 35 || Unsuccessful | 15 | 50 | 65 || Total | 30 | 70 | 100 |**Task** Compute the following conditional probability. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)An author is unsuccessful, given that she is established.**Solution** The conditional probability that an author is unsuccessful, given that she is established, is calculated as follows:\[ P(\text{Unsuccessful} \mid \text{Established}) = \frac{\text{Number of Unsuccessful Established Authors}}{\text{Total Number of Established Authors}} = \frac{50}{70} = \frac{5}{7} \]
