Step 1
Given:
Probability that users were male =0.47,
Probability that female users are using the website on a mobile =0.84.
Step 2
A. The probability that user is a female =1probability that user is a male=10.47
Hence, probability that user is a female =0.53
B. The probability that female users are using the website on a computer =1probability that female users are using the website on a mobile=10.84
Hence, probability that female users are using the website on a computer =0.16
C. The probability that a random user is both female and using the website on a computer:
P(Female and using Computer)=P(female)×P(using computer)
=0.53×0.16
=0.0848
