The probability that a student is going to be absent given that today is Friday is 3/20.
Here in the given problem, we have been given two conditions, that is -
The probability of the student being absent during professor Pouokam's class is = A = 0.03 (i)
The probability of it being Friday is = F = 0.2 (ii)
We know that in order to solve we need to use Conditional Probability and that the formula for conditional probability is =
= Probability(A/F) = 0.03/0.2
=Probability for the given problem = 3/20 (iii)
Hence, the probability that a student is absent given that today is Friday is 3/20.
