The probability that a student who speaks Spanish also speaks French is found using the formula for conditional probability. Given that 4% of students speak both Spanish and French, and 14% speak Spanish, the probability that a student speaks French given they speak Spanish is 4% divided by 14%, which equals 0.286 or 28.6%.
