If there are 40 students, 22 are women, 10 are earning an A, and 7 are women that are earning an A, that means that there are 18 males, 10 total students making an A, 15 women that are not earning an A, and 3 males that are earning an A. (This is all given information) The question asks, if you select a woman student, what is the chance that this student is an "A" student? Remember, out of 22 women, 7 are earning an A and 15 are not. 7/22 would be the answer.
