Upon arrival at a hospital's emergency room, patients are categorized according to their conditions as critical, serious or stable. Past records indicated that 10% of the emergency room patients were critical. 30% of the emergency room patients were serious. The rest of the emergency room patients were stable. 40% of the critical patient died. 10% of the serious patient died. 1% of the stable patient died. Given that a patient in the emergency room survived, find the probability that the patient was categorized as serious.
