There is a total of 200 students.

120 students are male                       --->  80 students are female

50 are upper division student            --->  150 are lower division students

40 are upper division male students --->  10 are upper division female students

                                                               --->   80 are lower divison male students

                                                               --->   70 are lower division female

 

The probability of selecting a lower division student given the student is a female:

                 =  70 / 80  =  0.875
