Dear Sir,

I don't know how to solve this statistics problem.  I have tried my best to
workout the solutions but failed.  I think my IQ is not up to the mark!

Question:
Assume you have applied for two scholarships, a Merit scholarship (M) and an
Athletic scholarship (A).  The probabilitythat you receive an Athletic
scholarship is 0.18.  The probability of reveiving both scholarship is 0.11.
The probability of getting at least one of the scholaarship is 0.3.

a.  What is the probability of receiving the athletic scholarship given that
you have been awarded  the Merit scholarship?

b.  What is the probability of receiving the Merit scholarship given that
you have been awarded  the Athletic scholarship?

Thank you

Manneesa
