In a survey it was found that 10% of the voters had considered running for the school board. It was also found that 70% of those who had considered running for the school board voted in the last school board election, but only 50% of those who had not considered running for the school board voted in the last school board election. If a person from this survey is selected at random and is found to have voted in the last school board election, determine the probability that the person had considered running for the school board. (Answers may be rounded) .52 .865 .135 .07 .45 None of these
