7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the totals of each column and row, we find:

There are 3+2+1 = 6 children in the baseball league.

There are 7+2+1 = 10 children in the softball league.

There are 3+7 = 10 children in the 7-9 division.

There are 2+2 = 4 children in the 10-12 division.

There are 1+1 = 2 children in the 13-15 division.

There are a total of 10+6 = 16 children.

We start with the information that the team is a member of the softball league.  There are 10 children in this league; this is the denominator of the probability.

There are 7 children in the 7-9 division that are in the softball league.  This gives us the probability 7/10.
