Answer to the question is as follows:
c.
P(medium brown who commited weapon violence) = .12
P(MB skin who have been suspended from school) = .16
d. P(dark brown adols. who have suspended) = .17
This is calculated as : total dark brown adols. who are suspended/total adols.
Total adols/ = 2024 ( as given in tables)
Total dark brown adols. who are suspended is not given in table , but should be 345
Hence, %gae adols. who were dark brown adols and suspended = 345/2024 = .170455 or .17
