A 12.5% B 27.1% C 40.3% D 44.6%

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

                         Boys        Girls       Total

Basketball          10             8             18

 Football           25             7             32

  Soccer             9             19             28

 Baseball           18            22            40

   Total               62           56            118

Compute the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football as follows:

$P(F|G)=\frac{n(G\cap F)}{n(G)}$

            $=\frac{7}{56}\\\\=0.125\\\\=12.5\%$

Thus, the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.
