Answer:

48%

Explanation:

The conditional probability definition applies.

P(med | cold) = P(med & cold) / P(cold)

The probabilities are the table numbers divided by the total of all numbers in the table (100). Since that dividend is the same for all, we can basically ignore it and just use the table numbers.

P(med | cold) = (12)/(8+12+5) = 12/25 = 48/100

P(med | cold) = 48%
