In a school of 1250 students, 250 are freshmen and 150 students take Spanish. The probability that a student takes Spanish given that he/she is a freshman is 30%. What is the probability that a randomly selected student is a freshman given that he/she takes Spanish?
"probability that a student takes Spanish given that he/she is a freshman is 30%" this indicates that out of all the freshman, 30% of them speak spanish so first we will find 30% of 250 freshmen to be our freshman spanish-speakers now, "the probability that a randomly selected student is a freshman given that he/she takes Spanish" indicates (freshman spanish-speakers)/(total freshman) = (30% of 250)/250 @hero could you double check this for me because I'm not 100% sure
also, moved to mathematics from earth science
