What is the probability that a student will take chemistry, given that they are female (use the table above)?
To determine the probability that a student will take chemistry given that they are female, we need to find the number of females taking chemistry and divide it by the total number of females. According to the table provided in the question, 15 females are taking chemistry. The total number of females is 50.
So the probability that a student will take chemistry, given that they are female, is 15/50, which can be simplified to 3/10, or 0.3 (or 30%).
