Solution

The question is asking for the conditional probability that a student is enrolled in statistics given that they are enrolled in accounting. This is represented as P(S|A).

We know that P(S and A), the probability of a student being enrolled in both statistics and accounting, is 15% or 0.15.

We also know that P(A), the probability of a student being enrolled in accounting, is 30% or 0.30.

The formula for conditional probability is P(S|A) = P(S and A) / P(A).

Substituting the given values into the formula gives us P(S|A) = 0.15 / 0.30 = 0.50.

So, the probability that a student is enrolled in statistics given that they are enrolled in accounting is 0.50.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 0.50.
