In a basketball arena,
• 70 percent of the fans are rooting for the home team,
• 25 percent of the fans are wearing blue,
• 20 percent of the fans are wearing blue and are rooting for the away team, and
• Of the fans rooting for the away team, 67 percent are wearing blue.
Let A be the event that a fan is rooting for the away team.
Let B be the event that a fan is wearing blue.
