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:
- A \(\frac{33}{100}\)
- B \(\frac{3}{5}\)
- C 1
- D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{33}{100}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(A) = P(A|H) \cdot P(H) + P(A|D) \cdot P(D)\) \(P(A) = (0.40)(0.65) + (0.20)(0.35)\) \(P(A) = 0.26 + 0.07\) \(P(A) = 0.33 = \frac{33}{100}\)

Microbes are organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They include bacteria, archaea, protists, viruses, prions, and fungi. They account for most of the diversity of life on earth. Far more microbes inhabit a single person's body than there are people on the entire planet. Microbes also dominate in terms of their ability to live and thrive in extreme environments, including clouds, deep-sea volcanoes, springs, ice caps, and animal intestines. Most animals, including humans, exhibit numerous associations with microbes. Our "human microbiome" includes our skin, hair, mouth, and gut.
