1. **State the problem:** We have a class of 31 students. Some revised and some did not. Among those who revised, 11 passed and 7 did not pass. Among those who did not revise, 5 passed and 8 did not pass.
2. **What is asked?** Given that a student did not pass, find the probability that the student revised.
3. **Recall the formula for conditional probability:**
$$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$$
where $A$ is the event "student revised" and $B$ is the event "student did not pass".
4. **Identify the numbers:**
- Number of students who did not pass and revised: 7
- Number of students who did not pass and did not revise: 8
- Total number of students who did not pass: $7 + 8 = 15$
5. **Calculate the probability:**
$$P(\text{revised} | \text{did not pass}) = \frac{7}{15}$$
6. **Final answer:** The probability that a student revised given they did not pass is $\boxed{\frac{7}{15}}$.
