### Probability of Student Characteristics

#### Table and Venn Diagram Representation

**Student Distribution:**

|               | Boys | Not boys | Total |
|---------------|------|----------|-------|
| **Juniors**     | 65   | 35       | 100   |
| **Not juniors** | 220  | 145      | 365   |
| **Total**       | 285  | 180      | 465   |

**Venn Diagram Explanation:**
- The Venn Diagram visually represents the data where:
  - The left circle represents the boys: 220 boys who are not juniors plus 65 boys who are juniors.
  - The right circle represents the juniors: 65 juniors who are boys plus 35 juniors who are not boys.
  - The overlapping section (65) indicates the number of juniors who are boys.
  - The values outside the circles indicate the students who are not juniors nor boys (145).

#### Probability Calculations

1. **Probability that a student selected at random is a boy:**

   \( P(B) = \frac{285}{465} \)

2. **Probability that a boy selected at random is a junior:**

   \( P(J | B) = \frac{65}{285} \)

3. **Probability of randomly choosing a student who is a junior and a boy:**

   \( P(J \cap B) = \frac{65}{465} \)

4. **Probability of randomly choosing a student who is a girl given that she is not a junior:**

   \( P(G | J^c) = \frac{145}{365} \)

5. **Probability of randomly selecting a girl (not a boy):**

   \( P(G) = \frac{180}{465} \)

These probabilities help in understanding the distribution of different categories (boys, girls, juniors, not juniors) in a given student population.
