Explanation:

If we let A be the event that Trevor studies for at least 50 minutes, and let B be the event that he passes his Algebra test, then we know:

P(A and B) = 0.88

P(A) = 0.92

We want to find the probability that Trevor passes his Algebra test given that he studied for at least 50 minutes, or in other words, we want to find P(B|A).

We can use Bayes' theorem to find this probability:

P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

Substituting in our values, we get:

P(B|A) = 0.88 / 0.92

Simplifying this fraction, we get:

P(B|A) = 0.9565

Therefore, the probability that Trevor passes his Algebra test given that he studied for at least 50 minutes is approximately 0.9565.
