Answer:

33.3%

Explanation:

Defining:

A: a student plays football

B: a student plays baseball

Data:

P(A∩B): a student plays football and baseball = 0.06

P(A) = 0.18

The probability that a student plays baseball given that he plays football is calculated as follows:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B)/P(A) = 0.06/0.18 = 0.33
