TypeVenn diagram with two events

4 In a survey, a large number of young people are asked about their exercise habits. One of these people is selected at random.
  • \(G\) is the event that this person goes to the gym.
  • \(R\) is the event that this person goes running.
You are given that \(\mathrm { P } ( G ) = 0.24 , \mathrm { P } ( R ) = 0.13\) and \(\mathrm { P } ( G \cap R ) = 0.06\).
  1. Draw a Venn diagram, showing the events \(G\) and \(R\), and fill in the probability corresponding to each of the four regions of your diagram.
  2. Determine whether the events \(G\) and \(R\) are independent.
  3. Find \(\mathrm { P } ( R \mid G )\).
