Records indicate that, in Australia, 65% of secondary students participate in sport, and 71% of secondary students are Australian by birth. They also show that 53% of students are Australian by birth and participate in sport. Use this information to find: The probability that a student selected at random is not Australian by birth  The probability that a student selected at random is not Australian by birth and does not participate in sport. Given that the selected student is Australian by birth, what is the probability that the student participates in sport?
