In a lecture class, there are 280 students where 35% live in Luzon, 40% live in Visayan while the rest lives in Mindanao. They were all asked if they prefer to go home during vacation week. Of those who live in Luzon, 30 answered no. Of those who live in Visayan, 75% answered they want to go home during vacation and half of those from Mindanao prefer to go home, as well. What is the probability that a randomly selected student is from Mindanao, given that the student will not go home during vacation?
