Suppose in a certain year, the probability that a person in the United States would declare personal bankruptcy was 0.0017. The probability that a person in the United States would declare personal bankruptcy and had recently experienced medical-related issues was 0.0014. What was the probability that a person had recently experienced medical-related issues, given that they had declared personal bankruptcy?
