Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 75% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

A. If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack?
Probability =
B. If 43% of the people in a community will have a heart attack, what is the probability that a person with periodontal disease will have a heart attack?
Probability =
