Answer:

Concept:

The formula for the probability of A given B is given below as

In this case, we will use the cardinality


\begin{gathered} P(A|B)=(n(A\cap B))/(n(B)) \\ where, \\ A=charmed\text{ 5-10 worms} \\ B=raking\text{ the ground} \end{gathered}

From the table, we will that


\begin{gathered} n(A\cap B)=8 \\ n(B)=8+4=12 \end{gathered}

By substituting the values, we will have


\begin{gathered} P(A\lvert B)=\frac{n(A\operatorname{\cap}B)}{n(B)} \\ P(A\lvert B)=(8)/(12)=(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer = 2/3
