Answer

A. $P(Excellent~|~A)\gt P(Excellent~|~B)\gt P(Excellent~|~C)$.

Work Step by Step

$N(A)=1+8+21=30$. $N(B)=0+11+19=30$. $N(C)=6+11+13=30$. $N(Excellent~and~A)=23$. $N(Excellent~and~B)=19$. $N(Excellent~and~C)=13$. Using the Conditional Rule (page 288): $P(Excellent~|~A)=\frac{N(Excellent~and~A)}{N(A)}=\frac{23}{30}$ $P(Excellent~|~B)=\frac{N(Excellent~and~B)}{N(B)}=\frac{19}{30}$ $P(Excellent~|~C)=\frac{N(Excellent~and~C)}{N(C)}=\frac{13}{30}$ $P(Excellent~|~A)\gt P(Excellent~|~B)\gt P(Excellent~|~C)$.
