We know that both groups feed grass hay in the morning, so that's 100/100.

First group feeds alfalfa and grass in the evening

Second group feeds alfalfa and oat hay in the evening.

The estimated probability that horse owners feed grass hay the morning (AM) is 100%.

The estimated probability that horse owners feed alfalfa + oat hay in the pm is 28/100 or 28% (C)
