a)                  
required probability = 39/189 =13/63                  
                  
b)                  
required probability = 72/189 = 8/21                  
                  
c)                  
P(travel | morning) = 6/72 = 1/12                  
                  
                  
d)                  
P(morning | socializing) = 38/62 = 19/31                  
                  
                  
e)                  
P(afternoon | feeding) = 0                  
                  
                  
f)                  
P(evening or feeding) = (79+88-56)/189=111/189 = 37/63
