For each category, the same formula works


    P = .


For example, in the first class

    P(conditional probability to survive in first class) = 220%2F%28220%2B123%29 = 220%2F343 = 0.6414  (rounded).    ANSWER


Do the same as instructed for each other category.

Solved and explained.

The notation P(A | B) means "P(A) given event B happened"
We could write like "P(A given B)"

So asking something like P(survived | first class) means we know the person is in first class.
Since we can rewrite it as P(Survived given they are in first class)
There are 220+123 = 343 such people in first class.

Of this group of 343 people, 220 survived.

Therefore, 220/343 = 0.641 approximately is the probability of a survivor given they are in first class.

---------------------------------------------------

We do the same thing for parts 2 through 4.
I'll do the second part and leave parts 3 and 4 for you to do on your own.

P(survived given second-class) = (number of second-class survivors)/(number of people in second-class)
P(survived given second-class) = (114)/(114+171)
P(survived given second-class) = 114/285
P(survived given second-class) = 0.4 exactly

You could write that as 0.400 or leave it as 0.4

---------------------------------------------------

The last part of your question is garbled and missing important info.

You wrote "given that a passenger ____, what is the probability they had a ____ class ticket" but forgot to fill in those blanks

I'll go over an example

Question: given that a passenger   survived  , what is the probability they had a   first   class ticket?

Solution:
There are 713 total survivors, which is the total of everything along row one (ignore the 713 in that row since it's the result of adding everything else)
220+114+174+205 = 713

There are 220 survivors from first class (upper left corner)

The probability we get is therefore 220/713 = 0.309 approximately

If we know for certain the person is a survivor, then there's a 30.9% chance they are from first class.

Once again, this answer applies to a hypothetical example since I don't know what the full original question was. But you'll use this example template to answer your specific question.
