Answer:

0.3222 = 32.22% probability of an athlete being a cheerleader given that their favorite winter sport is skiing

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Given that their favorite winter sport is skiing

This means that the total number of outcomes is the number of people that have skiing as their favorite winter sport. So 68+84+59 = 211.

Desired outcomes are cheerleaders who have skiing as their favorite winter sport. So 68

Probability:


p=(D)/(T)=(68)/(211)=0.3222

0.3222 = 32.22% probability of an athlete being a cheerleader given that their favorite winter sport is skiing
