and science class this semester. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest whole percent)
that a randomly selected student will have science class this semester, given that the student is in
math class? (1 point)
Hint: P(AB)
P(ANB)

Answer:


P(\text{Science}|\text{Math})\approx64\%

Explanation:


\displaystyle P(\text{Science}|\text{Math})=\frac{P(\text{Science and Math})}{P(\text{Math})}\\\\P(\text{Science}|\text{Math})=(0.45)/(0.70)\\ \\P(\text{Science}|\text{Math})\approx0.643\approx64\%

None of the answer choices have this solution apparently, so either you left out some option, mistyped them, or it wasn't there to begin with
