Explanation:

ah, here you go.

come on, now. you know this now ...

again, mutually exclusive attributes in the table (no overlap here) allow us to add the numbers for a total :

4+2+12+10 = 28 students in total.

how many of those 28 fulfill our desired criteria (has a brother) ?

well, it is the sum of the column "has a brother", as it does not matter, if there is also a sister or not.

therefore, the probability to pick a student randomly, who has a brother is

16/28 = 4/7 = 0.571428571...
