Answer: Hope this helps:)

Explanation:

The probability that a student participates in clubs, the student is a girl, is approximately 0.588.

Let's define:

G:

The circumstance a pupil is a female.

C:

The activity in a student engages with clubs.

In the event G, 17 students are female, 11 students are club members, and 10 students are female and club members in the event G and C.

Calculate P(C|G), or the probability of event C provided that event G has occurred, to determine if a student joins clubs given that she is a girl.

Using the conditional probability formula, we have:

P(C and G) / P(G) = P(C|G)

P(C and G) = 10/32 because 10 students are both ladies and take part in

clubs (events G and C).

Additionally, according to event G, there are 17 girls in the class.P(G) = 17/32.

The probability that a student participates in clubs, given that the student is a girl, is:P

(C|G) = (10/32) / (17/32)

= 10/17

≈ 0.588
