Solution:

Given, that, probability that Jason will order an appetizer in a restaurant (event A) is = 0.6

Probability that Jason will order soup in a restaurant (event B) is = 0.3

⇒ Probability that Jason will order an appetizer, given that he orders the soup, is 0.3 = As Ordering of Soup and appetizer are independent events, so required Probability = P (A) * P (B)

= 0.6 * 0.3

= 0. 18
