1. **State the problem:** We have a class with students categorized by whether they completed homework and whether they passed the test. We want to find the probability that a student who did not complete the homework passed the test.
2. **Identify the relevant data:** From the table:
- Students who did not complete homework and passed the test: 2
- Students who did not complete homework and failed the test: 6
3. **Recall the formula for conditional probability:**
$$P(\text{Passed} \mid \text{Did not complete homework}) = \frac{\text{Number who passed and did not complete homework}}{\text{Total number who did not complete homework}}$$
4. **Calculate the total number of students who did not complete homework:**
$$2 + 6 = 8$$
5. **Calculate the probability:**
$$P = \frac{2}{8}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$P = \frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{8}} = \frac{1}{4}$$
7. **Interpretation:** The probability that a student who did not complete the homework passed the test is $\frac{1}{4}$ or 0.25.
