Hockey Rugby Probability
1. **State the problem:** Georgina surveys 25 people. 6 like hockey, 8 like rugby, and 16 like neither. We need to find the probability that a person who likes rugby also likes hockey.
2. **Understand the sets:** Let $H$ be the set of people who like hockey, $R$ the set who like rugby, and $N$ those who like neither.
3. **Given:**
- Total people $= 25$
- $|H| = 6$
- $|R| = 8$
- $|N| = 16$
4. **Find the number who like hockey or rugby or both:**
$$|H \cup R| = 25 - 16 = 9$$
5. **Use the formula for union:**
$$|H \cup R| = |H| + |R| - |H \cap R|$$
Substitute known values:
$$9 = 6 + 8 - |H \cap R|$$
6. **Solve for intersection:**
$$|H \cap R| = 6 + 8 - 9 = 5$$
7. **Calculate the probability that a person who likes rugby also likes hockey:**
This is the conditional probability:
$$P(H|R) = \frac{|H \cap R|}{|R|} = \frac{5}{8}$$
**Final answer:** The probability that a person who likes rugby also likes hockey is $\frac{5}{8}$.
