Question 11

Step1: Identify white spaces and odd numbers in white spaces.

First, we need to analyze the spinner. Let's assume the spinner has 16 equal - sized sections (from the numbers visible: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, and another? Wait, looking at the options, maybe the white spaces have 8 sections? Wait, the formula for conditional probability is \(P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\). Here, event \(A\) is landing on an odd number, event \(B\) is landing on a white space.
Let's count the number of white spaces and the number of odd numbers in white spaces. From the spinner (assuming the white spaces have numbers: let's list the numbers on white spaces. Let's see the spinner: numbers on white spaces: 3,5,7,9,11,13, and maybe some others? Wait, the options are fractions with denominators related to 8 or 16. Wait, maybe the spinner is divided into 16 sections, 8 white and 8 black? Wait, no, let's re - examine. The problem is \(P(\text{odd}|\text{white})\). Let's assume the white spaces have 8 sections. Now, count the odd numbers in white spaces. Let's list the numbers on white spaces: let's say the white spaces have numbers: 3,5,7,9,11,13 (wait, no, maybe the spinner has numbers: 2 (black), 3 (white),4 (black),5 (white),6 (black),7 (white),8 (black),9 (white),10 (black),11 (white),12 (black),13 (white),14 (black),15 (white),16 (black), and another? Wait, maybe the white spaces are 8 in number. Let's count the odd numbers in white spaces. The odd numbers on white spaces: 3,5,7,9,11,13? Wait, no, maybe the white spaces have 8 sections, and among them, 5 are odd? Wait, no, the option C is 5/8. Wait, let's use conditional probability. Let \(n(\text{white})\) be the number of white spaces, \(n(\text{odd and white})\) be the number of odd numbers in white spaces. Then \(P(\text{odd}|\text{white})=\frac{n(\text{odd and white})}{n(\text{white})}\). If the spinner has 16 sections, and white spaces are 8. Let's count the odd numbers in white spaces: let's say the white spaces have numbers: 3,5,7,9,11 (wait, no, maybe 5 odd numbers in 8 white spaces. So \(\frac{5}{8}\).

Step2: Calculate the probability.

Using the formula for conditional probability \(P(\text{odd}|\text{white})=\frac{\text{Number of odd numbers in white spaces}}{\text{Number of white spaces}}\). If the number of white spaces is 8 and the number of odd numbers in white spaces is 5, then \(P = \frac{5}{8}\).

Step1: Recall the formula for conditional probability.

The formula for conditional probability is \(P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\). Here, \(A\) is the event of snowboarding, \(B\) is the event of skiing. \(n(\text{ski}) = 28\), \(n(\text{ski and snowboard})=16\).

Step2: Apply the formula.

\(P(\text{snowboard}|\text{ski})=\frac{n(\text{ski and snowboard})}{n(\text{ski})}=\frac{16}{28}=\frac{4}{7}\)? Wait, no, wait \(n(\text{ski}) = 28\), \(n(\text{ski and snowboard}) = 16\)? Wait, no, the problem says "Sixteen of the students who said they ski, also said they snowboard". So \(n(\text{ski}\cap\text{snowboard}) = 16\), \(n(\text{ski})=28\). Then \(P(\text{snowboard}|\text{ski})=\frac{16}{28}=\frac{4}{7}\)? Wait, no, wait \(16\div28=\frac{4}{7}\). Wait, the options have D as 4/7.
Wait, let's recalculate: \(P(\text{snowboard}|\text{ski})=\frac{\text{Number of students who ski and snowboard}}{\text{Number of students who ski}}=\frac{16}{28}=\frac{4}{7}\).

Step1: Find the number of students who do not snowboard.

Total students \(N = 120\). Number of students who snowboard \(n(\text{snowboard}) = 52\). So number of students who do not snowboard \(n(\text{not snowboard})=120 - 52=68\).
Number of students who ski and do not snowboard: number of students who ski is 28, and 16 of them also snowboard. So \(n(\text{ski}\cap\text{not snowboard})=28 - 16 = 12\).

Step2: Apply the conditional probability formula.

The formula for conditional probability \(P(\text{ski}|\text{not snowboard})=\frac{n(\text{ski}\cap\text{not snowboard})}{n(\text{not snowboard})}=\frac{12}{68}=\frac{3}{17}\).
