Let's say that there are 2000 schools in this county.

If that's the case, then 77% of them use digital content in some way. That means 0.77*2000 = 1540 schools use digitial content.

Of those 1540 schools, 13 out of 20 of them use the digital content as part of the curriculum.

That must mean (13/20)*1540 = 1001 schools use the digitial content as part of the curriculum.

----------------------------

We have A = 1001 schools that use digital content and use it as part of the curriculum. This is out of B = 2000 schools overall.

The probability we want is A/B = 1001/2000 = 0.5005
which rounds to 0.501 when rounding to three decimal places.

----------------------------

Answer: 0.501
