The probability that an automobile being filled with gasoline will also need an oil change is 0.35
The probability that it needs a new oil filter is 0.45
The probability that both the oil and filter need changing is 0.25.
If a new oil filter is needed, the probability that the oil has to be changed :
The corresponding probabilities are,
P(O)=0.45
(C∩O)=0.25
The required probability is,
P(C∣O)=P(C∩O)/​P(O)
=0.25/0.45
= 0.5556
