The discussion focuses on solving a probability problem using a tree diagram, with specific calculations provided for joint and conditional probabilities. The user successfully calculated P(A∩B) as 3/20, P(B) as 9/35, and P(A/B) as 7/12. They also expressed interest in understanding how to utilize a tree diagram for visualizing these probabilities. A link to a resource on conditional probability trees was shared for further reference. The conversation emphasizes the application of probability concepts in problem-solving.

I would like to know how one can use the tree diagram...hence my post... otherwise, i was able to solve problem as follows,

a. ##P(A∩B)= \dfrac{3}{4} ×\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{20}##

b. ## P(B/A')=\dfrac{P(B)-\dfrac{3}{20}}{P(A')}##

##\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{P(B)-\dfrac{3}{20}}{\dfrac{1}{4}}##

...

##P(B)=\dfrac{9}{35}##

c. ## P(A/B)=\dfrac{3}{20} ×\dfrac{35}{9}=\dfrac{7}{12}##
