Probability that an investment adviser makes money, P(makes money) = 0.28
Probability that if the stock makes money then they would also get a dividend, P(Get dividend |make money) = 0.43
Probability that the investor makes money and receive a dividend, P( makes money and recceive dividend) = P(Get dividend |make money) * P(makes money)
= 0.43*0.28 = 0.1204 ~ 12%
