Suppose that 20% of the adult population in Palestine smoke cigarettes only, 15% smoke Argeeleh only, and 10% smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh. Suppose that 15% of those who smoke cigarettes only have respiratory problems, 10% of those who smoke Agreeleh only have respiratory problems, 20% of those who smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh have respiratory problems, and 5% of non-smokers have respiratory problems. If an adult person is randomly selected from the population: What is the probability that he/she has respiratory problems? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she is non-smoker? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she smokes both cigarettes and Argeeleh?
