Total number of students = 10

As we have to find

P(A/B) = Probability( A when B has happend)

P(A/B)= P(A intersection B)/P(B)

According to given figure only yolanda and Rob are in both club


Therefore,P(A intersection B)
=(2)/(10)

Number of student in karate club =6

P(B)
= (6)/(10)

P(A/B)
= (2)/(10)/{(6)/(10)


Converting division into multiplication by reciprocating the term after division



P(A/B)
= (2)/(10)*{(10)/(6)



On solving we get ,


P(A/B)
= (2)/(6)

P(A/B)
=(1)/(3)


P(A/B)
=0.33
