Step-by-step explanation:

This question is involves conditional probability

To compute the probability, we will use the relationship:


\text{Probabilty}=\frac{n\\u\text{mber of possible outcome }}{n\\u mber\text{ of total outcome }}

For this


\text{Probability}=(357)/(357+17)=(357)/(374)

We will convert to decimal to obtain:


0.9545
