C
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) ≠ P(A).
D
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) ≠ P(B).

A researcher randomly selected 132 high school students and asked them about their study habits and lighting preference when studying. The two-way table displays the data. Suppose one of the students is randomly selected. Let L = the student prefers low light and S = the student sometimes studies.Which of the following is the correct value and interpretation of P(S|L)?

Question illustration
A
P(S|L) = 0.35; given that the student prefers low light, there is a 0.35 probability that they sometimes study.
B
P(S|L) = 0.35; given that the student sometimes studies, there is a 0.35 probability that they prefer low light.
C
P(S|L) = 0.57; given that the student prefers low light, there is a 0.57 probability that they sometimes study.
D
P(S|L) = 0.57; given that the student sometimes studies, there is a 0.57 probability that they prefer low light.
