See below

Step-by-step explanation:

More likely is the one that has a higher probability from both classes.

The probability is the number of students with respective trait, divided by total number of students.

Martinez Class:

3 out of 17 are left handed, hence

P (left handed) = 3/17 0.1765

Burkheart Class:

4 out of 24 have red hair, hence

P (red hair) = 4/24 = 1/6 = 0.1667

More likely is Martinez's class left handed.
