7 It is found that30o/o of the population of an island are overweight. Among the

overweight, the probability of those who do not have any chronic illness is 0.4 and
among those who are not overweight, the probability that they do not have any
chronic illness is 0.65.
Draw a tree diagram to represent the given information.
