P(W|H)=prob Roosters win given they play away=0.You should find that this gives 22/31 (about 71%)-probability of winning home match is 0.probability of playing home match is 0.so probability of playing home match and winning it is 0.8*0.55 = 0.......
The Roosters know that they will win 80% of their home matches and 40%
of their away matches. This season's fixture has the Roosters playing 55% of their games at home.
Given that the Roosters won their last game, what was the probability that it was played at home?

-
This is an application of Bayes' Theorem which deals with
conditional probabilities.
P(H)=0.55 , the probability that Roosters play at home
P(H')= the prob that Roosters do not play at home=0.45
P(W|H)=prob Roosters win given they play at home=0.80
P(W|H')=prob Roosters win given they play away=0.40

Bayes' states that P(H|W)=P(W|H)P(H)/[P(W|H)P(H)+P(W|H')P(H…
You should find that this gives 22/31 (about 71%)

-
probability of winning home match is 0.8
probability of playing home match is 0.55
so probability of playing home match and winning it is 0.8*0.55 = 0.44 or 44%

-
55% of the total matches were played at home of which 80% has the probability of winning
80%*55% = 44%
