An advertising executive is studying television viewing habits of married men and women during prime time hours. Based on the past viewing records he has determined that during prime time wives are watching television 60% of the time. It has also been determined that when the wife is watching television, 40% of the time the husband is also watching. When the wife is not watching the television, 30% of the time husband is watching the television. Find the probability that

P(Wife watching TV) = P(W) = 60/100

P(H/W) = 40/100 ; P(H/W') = 30/100

(i) P(Husband watching TV) = P(H) 

(ii) P(W/H)
