The total number of juniors is 28 (6+13+9). The number of juniors who preferred afternoon classes is 13. Therefore, the probability that a junior preferred afternoon classes is:
$$P(\text{Afternoon} \mid \text{Junior}) = \frac{13}{28} \approx \boxed{0.464}$$
$$P(\text{Afternoon} \mid \text{Junior}) = \frac{13}{28} \approx \boxed{0.464}$$
