The following table summarizes the number of deceased beetles under autolysis (the destruction of a cell after its death by the action of its own enzymes) and putrefaction (decomposition of organic matter, especially protein, by microorganisms, resulting in production of foul-smelling matter): Autolysis High Low Putrefaction High 14 47 Low 30 9 (a) If the autolysis of a sample is high, what is the probability that the putrefaction is low? (b) If the putrefaction of a sample is high, what is the probability that the autolysis is high? (c) If the putrefaction of a sample is low, what is the probability that the autolysis is low?
