Question 753370: A school teacher notices that around 50% of the children in her class (which has the same number of boys and girls) appear to be overweight. She also notices that about 35% of the class are both overweight and female. What is the estimated probability that a boy in her class is overweight? Answer by DrBeeee(684) (Show Source):

50% of class is girls
50% of the class is overweight
35% of class is overweight girls
