The probability a student plays an instrument, given they play a sport, is approximately 0.3226 or 32.26%.
Variables:
A = student plays an instrument
B = student plays a sport
Given:
P(B) = 0.62, students play a sport
P(A ∩ B) = 0.20, students play both a sport and an instrument
Conditional probability:
P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
Substitute and simplify:
P(A | B) = 0.20 / 0.62
= 0.3226
