Question

If B = the probability I will make a basket in today's' basketball game and S = the probability that I will sprain my wrist today then write out as a complete sentence what the probability equation P ( B | S ) = 0.005 means.

Answer 1

If B is the probability that I will hit the basket in today's basketball game and S is the probability that I will stretch my wrist today then the equation for probability P (B | S) = 0.005 means that the number of balls that I will throw in the basket when assuming I have already stretched my wrist are 5 hits per 1000 attempts.
