Answer:

19.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a student in the sample data is enrolled in painting Given that the student is female is a conditional probability and can be defined as :

Let,

F = Female ; P = painting

P(Painting Given female) = P(P|F) = (PnF) / F

From the table :

(PnF) = 16

F = 84

Hence,

P(P|F) = 16 / 84 = 0.19047 = 0.19047 * 100%

P(P|F) = 19.0%
