Homework Statement


A baseball player compiles the following information :

He hits a home run in 34% of his games
He gets a strike out in 40% of his games
In 78% of his games he hits a home run or his team wins
In 10% of his games he hits a home run and gets a strike out
In 26% of his games he hits a home run and his team wins
In 28% of his games he gets a strike out and his team wins
In 7% of his games he hits a home run, gets a strike out and his team wins

What is the probability that the players team wins if he doesn't hit a home run ?


The attempt at a solution
[tex] P(W| H\prime)=\frac{P(W \cap H\prime)}{P(H(\prime)}= \frac{P(H)-P(W\cap H)}{1-P(H)}[/tex]


How come l use this equation l get the wrong answer ? Can someone please correct me on where l am wrong ?

The only hint I can probably suggest is for you to focus on what is being asked, analyze the question very carefully, then gather the informations given above that "only" relates to the question.
