In its lifetime the probability that a dog will be sprayed by a skunk at least once is 37% and the probability that a dog will be sprayed by a skunk two or more times is 22%.

Explanation / Answer

here probability that a dog will be sprayed by a skunk at least>

and probability that a dog will be sprayed by a skunk two or more times is 22% =P(X>=2)=0.22

probability that it will be sprayed again during its lifetime; given dog is sprayed by a dog once

=P(X>=2|X>=1) =P(X>=2)/P(X>=1) =0.22/0.37 =0.5946
