EconOcon is planning its company picnic. The only thing that will cancel the picnic is a thunderstorm. The Weather Service has predicted dry conditions with probability 0.2, moist conditions with probability 0.45, and wet conditions with probability 0.35. If the probability of a thunderstorm given dry conditions is 0.3, given moist conditions is 0.6, and given wet conditions is 0.8, what is the probability of a thunderstorm? If we know the picnic was indeed canceled, what is the probability moist conditions were in effect?

Question
EconOcon is planning its company picnic. The only thing that will cancel the picnic is
a thunderstorm. The Weather Service has predicted dry conditions with probability
0.2, moist conditions with probability 0.45, and wet conditions with probability 0.35.
If the probability of a thunderstorm given dry conditions is 0.3, given moist
conditions is 0.6, and given wet conditions is 0.8, what is the probability of a
thunderstorm? If we know the picnic was indeed canceled, what is the probability
moist conditions were in effect?
