The chance of randomly selecting someone from this group with a brother given that they have a sister is given by;

Option A; P(Brother|Sister) = 12

From the given venn diagram, we see that;

Number of students that had brothers; n(B) = 9

Number of Students that had brothers and sisters; n(B ∩ S)= 5

Number of students that had sisters; n(S) = 12

Number of students that didn't have any sibling; n(A' ∪ B') = 8

Now, we want to find P(B | S). This is a conditional probability because we are told that it represents the chance of randomly selecting someone from this group with a brother given that they have a sister and the formula according to sets is;

P(B | S) = (P(B ∩ S))/P(S)

Since they all have same denominators, then we can write as;

P(B | S) = 5/12
