ANSWER


P(A|B)=(1)/(3)\approx0.333

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the probability P(A|B).

This is a conditional probability and its formula is:


P(A|B)=(P(A\cap B))/(P(B))

where P(A n B) is the probability that the student plays basketball and soccer and P(B) is the probability that the student plays soccer.

We have that:


P(A\cap B)=(1)/(10)

and


P(B)=(3)/(10)

Therefore, we have that:


\begin{gathered} P(A|B)=(1)/(10)/(3)/(10) \\ P(A|B)=(1)/(10)\cdot(10)/(3) \\ P(A|B)=(1)/(3)\approx0.333 \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
