GCSE Maths Practice: conditional-probability

Question 8 of 13

This question illustrates conditional probability where the condition defines the group.

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{A group of 30 students includes 18 girls and 12 boys.} \\ \text{If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that the student is a girl,} \\ \text{given that the student is not a boy?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Focus on the subset defined by the condition; the probability is then calculated within it.

Only the students meeting the condition (not a boy) are considered for probability.
