What is the probability student that the student prefers basketball?
Write your answers in fraction form, eg. 1/2 or 56/78. You do not need to reduce the fractions to lowest form. Do not use decimal form.
8. Choosing one of the 200 students at random: Given that the student prefers M&Ms, what is the probability that the student prefers basketball?
