Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of students

Add up all the values in the table: (5 + 7+2 + 5=19)

Step2: Identify the number of students who can read minds and are not lazy

From the table, the number of students who can read minds and are not lazy (i.e., the "Forgetful" column for "Read minds" row) is (2)

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability (P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}), so (P = \frac{2}{19})

Answer:

(\frac{2}{19})
