Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: High school student.

Event B: Is on the swin team.

Probability of selecting a high school student:

Of the 1500 students, 200 are on high school. So

Probability of selecting a high school student who swims:

Of the 1500 students, 45 are high school students who swim. So

What is the probability that a high school member selected at random is on the swim team?

The probability that a high school member selected at random is on the swim team is
