P ( A ) = P (leave Winnipeg on time) = 0.70 P ( A and B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) = P (arrive in Calgary on time and leave Winnipeg on time) = 0.56 P ( B | A ) = P (arrive Calgary on time given leave Winnipeg on time) = ? The probability that the plane will arrive in Calgary on time given that it left Winnipeg on time is 0.80 or 80%. |
