Week2:ChangingProbabilitiesintoConditionalProbabilities Describe a situationwhere youseeprobabilities or might see probabilities.Thenpresent this probability as a conditional probability. In response, other students canmake assumptions about the conditional probability table that could accompany such asituationandposeaquestionforaspecificprobability.Finally,athirdstudentcanshowthe work of solving the probability. Your first post should start a new probabilitydiscussiononly!

Consider when businesses might use confidence intervals to estimate values, such asin sales projections, marketing results, and so forth. Describe a business decision thatcould be helped with confidence intervals. Be specific! Then create a problem withnumbers from which another student could calculate a confidence interval and make adecision.
