I see your point. But the way the exercises are organized, this question is meant to be about conjunction, and the next one is about conditional probability. I think the instructions are clear enough, and the answer is not exactly wrong. So I think I'll leave it as is for now. Thanks for this suggestion.

This is my second time working through the materials, (excellent by the way) and came and looked at the issues for exactly this reason. P(female | Linda) = 1 as long as we are able to assume that "she" => female so this can be distracting to those of us who are more pedantic.
Perhaps you could swap the name for this section to a name used commonly by both men and women (such as Tyler or Francis) and give the information in a different way, or swap the gender for another attribute.
I can't be alone in getting distracted by this confusion, and I doubt I am only the second person after Szustarol to be so distracted.
Thank you anyway for this wonderful resource.
