JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 14. probability
Out of \(60 \%\) female and \(40 \%\) male candidates appearing in an exam, \(60\%\) candidates qualify it. The number of females qualifying the exam is twice the number of males qualifying it. A candidate is randomly chosen from the qualified candidates. The probability, that the chosen candidate is a female, is.
- A \(\frac{13}{16}\)
- B \(\frac{11}{16}\)
- C \(\frac{23}{32}\)
- D \(\frac{2}{3}\)
