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.
If the selected student attains grade A, find the probability that the student is a hosteller.
- A \(\frac{7}{33}\)
- B \(\frac{26}{33}\)
- C \(\frac{2}{5}\)
- D \(\frac{33}{100}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{26}{33}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(H) = 0.65\), \(P(D) = 0.35\) \(P(A|H) = 0.40\), \(P(A|D) = 0.20\) \(P(A) = P(A|H)P(H) + P(A|D)P(D)\) \(P(A) = (0.40)(0.65) + (0.20)(0.35) = 0.26 + 0.07 = 0.33\) \(P(H|A) = \frac{P(A|H)P(H)}{P(A)}\) \(P(H|A) = \frac{(0.40)(0.65)}{0.33} = \frac{0.26}{0.33} = \frac{26}{33}\)
