Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Explanation:

The conditional probability of an event, say A is the probability of that events (A) when it is known that another event, say X has already occurred.

For example, consider the experiment of drawing two marbles from jar consisting of 8 white and 2 red, without replacement. The probability of selecting a red marble after a white marble is known as conditional probability.

In this case it is provided that:

  • 40% of the students are licensed drivers
  • 55% students are female.

The statement:

"the probability that a student who is a licensed driver is a male"

Is a statement of conditional probability.

This is because it is known from previous information that the student is a licensed driver and we need to determine the probability of this student being a male.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
