Explanation:

as in the other problem, the table describes mutually exclusive attributes.

so, we can simply sum the numbers up to get the total number of students :

3+9+2+16 = 30 students.

so, when picking a random student, we have 30 possibilities.

now, how many of those 30 have the desired attributes (to have a brother AND a sister) ?

I see 3 in the table.

so, the probability to pick a student that has a brother and a sister is

3/30 = 1/10 = 0.1
