Sophomore 6 24 40

P(soph | carries card)
= P(soph AND cc)/P(cc)
= (24/100)/(61/100)
= 24/61
------
P(choice | condition)
Note: The easy way to find these answers
when you have a contingency chart is to
remember that the "conditional" is the
universe and the choice is a subset of
of the conditional. So your conditional
has 61 and your choice has 24. So your
answer is 24/61.
