Your answer would be 0.14 to the nearest hundredth.

The question P(Walk to school | Senior) is asking for the probability that a student walks to school given that they're a senior. Therefore we have to count how many total senior students there are, which is 35.

To form the probability, we then need to see how many of these 35 students walk to school, which we're given as 5. Thus, the probability is 5/35 which simplifies to 1/7.

1/7 as a decimal is 0.1429, which, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, gives us 0.14.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
