Explanation / Answer

A.

P(man has high blood pressure and high cholestorel) = 0.21

B.

P(a man has high blood pressure) = 0.21+52 = 0.73

C.

P(a man with high blood pressure has high cholestorel) = P(a man has high blood pressure and high cholestorel)/P(a man has high blood pressure) = 0.21/0.73 = 0.29

D.

P(a man has high blood pressure given that he has high cholestorel) = P(a man has high blood pressure and high cholestorel)/P(a man has high cholestorel) = 0.21/(0.21+0.11) = 0.66
