Discussion:
The Gift Boutique had been the target of many shoplifters in the past, but its newly installed camera security system has helped in the apprehension of 240 "sticky -fingered" customers in the last six months.
A breakdown of these 240 shoplifters revealed the following:
Males=140, 80 were first time offenders and 60 were repeat offenders.
Females = 100, 60 were first time offenders and 40 were repeat offenders
First-time offenders = 140 and repeat offenders =100
Q1.) What is the probability that the shoplifter is a first-time offender, given that the shoplifter is a male?
Q2.) What is the probability that the shoplifter is a repeat offender, given that the shoplifter is a female?
