In the strep throat exercise I don’t understand how we come to the percent probabilities of event 2. Can anyone who understands this explain it to me. I understand event 1 - 20% of people have ST. I’m assuming event 2 is a dependent event because event 1 determines whether a person does or does not have ST. But otherwise I just can’t make it work. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks!
