What is the answer?

Suri GangulaFaculty 8y ago

My approach would be as, 50% chance for being non venomous, then there is remaining 30%, for happening non instant killer, so 20% would be for an instant killer. So instant : slow = 20:30, or 2:3, as it given that snake is already venomous then the instant killer probability will be 2/5
