Choose 1 medal winner at random. Find the probability that the winner was from the United States, given that he or she won a silver medal.
=========================
Since the condition is "won a silver", you only look at
the silver column which has 235 data values
---
The US had 39 of those
------
P(U.S. | silver) = 39/235
