Answer :

The conditional probability formula is given as

[tex]P(HH|C)=\frac{P(HH\cap C)}{P(C)}[/tex]

where

[tex]P(HH\cap C)[/tex]

denotes the probability of the intersection zone.

From the given picture, we can note that the number of elements in each of the above zones are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} n(HH\cap C)=4 \\ \text{and} \\ n(C)=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, we have

[tex]P(HH|C)=\frac{P(HH\cap C)}{P(C)}=\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

by symplifing this result, we have

[tex]P(HH|C)=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
