The probability that meditation will reduce heart attack is given by 0.30. Then why are we multiplying 0.70 instead of 0.30 with 0.40?

Assume that the chances of the patient having heart atteck are 40%. It is alsc assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduce the risk of heart attack by 30% and orescription of certain drug reduces its chances by 25% At a lime a patient can chcose any one of the two cptions with equal probabilities. It is given that after goirg through one of the two options the patient selected et random suffers G heert atteck. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga?

A) = 0.40 P(AILI - 0.28 -0.30

Here, in the question they have given that the heart attack is reduced by 30% by meditation and yoga. But , we are asked to find the probability that a person suffers from heart attack even though he has gone through meditation and yoga. So we multiply with 70%(chance of occuring heart attack).
