Data collected from Cape Town shows that

all the drivers over 30 will be prosecuted for a
driving offence during a year, compared with
10% of drivers aged 30 or younger.)If a driver
has been prosecuted, what is the probability
they are 30 or younger?

[tex]=0.4\cdot{0.1}=0.04[/tex]

Therefore the probability is 4%
