An instructor has a question bank consisting of 300 easy True / False questions, 200 difficult True / False questions, 500 easy multiple choice questions and 400 difficult multiple choice questions.

Total number of questions =300+200+500+400=1400

Let A = question be easy.

n(A)= 300+500=800

P(A)=\frac{800}{1400}=\frac{8}{14}

Let B = multiple choice question

n(B)=500+400=900

P(B)=\frac{900}{1400}=\frac{9}{14}

A\cap B = easy multiple questions

n(A\cap B) =500

 P(A\cap B) =\frac{500}{1400}=\frac{5}{14}

P(A| B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(A| B)=\frac{\frac{5}{14}}{\frac{9}{14}}

P(A| B)=\frac{5}{9}

Therefore, the required probability is 5/9
