Oof, I was just about done with answering this question but I deleted it all by accident so I had to rewrite it.

Anyways, the first part of it is correct.

The second part of it is a bit harder. See, this is conditional probability, which uses the equation that I've attached below.

For Event A, you'll need the total boys / total students:

0.44166

For Event B, you'll need the total counters / total students:

0.83333

Now, plug these values into the equation. The weird U thingy is called "Union". It basically means "and".

P(A and B) / P(B)

P(0.44166 * 0.8333) / P(0.8333)

0.36803 / 0.8333

This is about 0.44165, or 53/120
