Hey, I'm not teaching HL at the mo so I'm not up to speed. Any help with the following would be appreciated. I'm fine on the more straightforward ones but not sure where to start with this* I've changed some figures/etc for copyright:

A football team wins 70% of their games at home. They have a 0.25 chance of winning their games away. The tournament they are playing in splits the games 50:50 between home and away matches.
If they win their match find the probability that the game was played at home.
