The effect of cloud seeding on suppression of damaging hail is being studied in your area by randomly seeding or not seeding equal numbers of candidate storms. Suppose the probability of damaging hail from a seeded storm is 0.10, and the probability of damaging hail from an unseeded storm is 0.40. If one of the candidate storms has just produced damaging hail, what is the probability that it was seeded
