5.32 Cancer deaths Current estimates are that about 25% of all deaths are due to cancer, and of the deaths that are due to cancer, 30% are attributed to tobacco, 40% to diet, and 30% to other causes. Define events and identify which of these four proba- bilities refer to conditional probabilities. h Find the probability that a death is due to cancer and -&t tobacco.
