Shmikea, the newly imported Norwegian superstore, sells beautiful 6-foot round shag rugs. Borg's living room is a 12 by 18 foot rectangle, and his goal is to cover as much of the floor as possible with these rugs without them overlapping. How much of the floor space will be left uncovered if he goes through with his plan? (Use the approximation π = 3.14.)

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
