1. Denote the events:
-P
-VS
2. Find the given probabilities:
-P(P) = 0.20
-P(VS) = 0.16
-P(P \cap VS) = 0.01
3. Apply the conditional probability formula:
P(VS|P) = \frac{P(P \cap VS)}{P(P)}
4. Substitute the values:
P(VS|P) = \frac{0.01}{0.20} = 0.05
5. Conclusion: The probability that an individual who selected "construcción de un puente" also selected "construcción de viviendas sociales" is
0.05
