Twenty percent of buildings in a city that are affected by a strong earthquake are damaged. Of the buildings that are damaged, 10% are built according to the latest seismic code, whereas 20% of the buildings not damaged do not meet code specifications. Suppose a building is exposed to a strong earthquake. If it is not built according to code specifications, what is the probability that it will be damaged during the earthquake? Hint: construct a tree diagram.
