What is the probability that a randomly selected dropout is? white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years? old? The probability that a randomly selected dropout is? white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years? old, is nothing. ?(Round to four decimal places as? needed.)

0.6628 or 66.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old is determined by the probability of them being a white 16 to 17 years old dropout (5.7%), divided by the probability of them being a 16 to 17 years old dropout of any ethnicity (8.6%):

There is a 0.6628 or 66.28% chance that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old.
