Assume that one person will be randomly selected from the group described in the table. Find the probability of selecting an officer who is in the Navy, given that the officer is African American.
African Americans Army: 9162, Navy: 3524 Mrn:1341 AF: 4282
His American Army: 2105, Navy: 2732 Mrn: 914 AF: 1518
Other Min. Army: 4075, Navy: 2653 Mrn: 599 AF: 3823
------------------
Ans: 3524/(9162+3524+1341+4282) = 0.1925
