Hi
A test was given to a group of students. The grades and gender are summarized below
A B C Total
Male 10 7 6 23
Female 11 9 4 24
Total 21 16 10 47

If one student is chosen at random from those who took the test,
Find the probability that the student was female GIVEN they got a 'B'.
P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P = %289%2F47%29%2F%2816%2F47%29 = 9/16
