Out of students in a school, it is known that \(65 \%\) reside in hostel and \(35 \%\) are day scholars. Previous year results report that \(40 \%\) of the students who reside in hostel attain A grade and \(20 \%\) of day scholars attain A grade in their annual examination.
At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the class.
Probability of the selected student attaining grade \(A\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{33}{100}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  3. C 1
  4. D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{33}{100}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A) = P(A|H) \cdot P(H) + P(A|D) \cdot P(D)\) \(P(A) = (0.40)(0.65) + (0.20)(0.35)\) \(P(A) = 0.26 + 0.07\) \(P(A) = 0.33 = \frac{33}{100}\)
