An ice cream vendor sells three flavours: chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. 45% of the sales are chocolate, 30% are strawberry and the rest are vanilla. Sales are by the cone or the cup. The percentages of cones sales for chocolate, strawberry and vanilla are 75%, 60% and 40%, respectively. For a randomly selected sale, define the following events: AS1U1B11S1U1B0 = chocolate chosen. AS1U1B12S1U1B0 = strawberry chosen. AS1U1B13S1U1B0 = vanilla chosen. B = ice cream in a cone. $\bar { B }$ = ice cream in a cup. Use this information to answer the following question(s). -Find the probability that the ice cream was strawberry-flavoured, given that it was sold in a cup.
