#P(v/s)=0.39#

Explanation:

A randomly selected student participated in sports #P(s) = 59% = 0.59#

A randomly selected student participate in
sports and volunteer activity # P(sv) = 23% = 0.23#

Probability that a student participates in volunteer activities given that the student participates in sports #P(v/s)=(P(sv))/(P(s))=0.23/0.59=0.39#
