Answers (1)

Answer:

 \frac{3}{11}

Hint:

 Use Baye’s theorem.

Given:

 In certain college 4% of boy and 1% of girl are taller than 1.75 meter. Furthermore 60% of student in colleges are girl. A student selected at garden from college is found be taller 1.75 meter.

Solution:

Let E1 and E2  denote the selected student is a girl and selected student is a boy.

A denoted the student is 1.75m tall.

\begin{aligned} &P(E_1)=\frac{60}{100}\\ &P(E_2)=\frac{40}{100}\\ &P\left ( \frac{A}{E_1} \right )=\frac{1}{100}\\ &P\left ( \frac{A}{E_2} \right )=\frac{4}{100}\\ \end{aligned}

Using Baye’s theorem we get

\begin{aligned} &P\left (\frac{E_1}{A} \right )=\frac{P(E_1).P\left ( \frac{A}{E_1} \right )}{P(E_1)\times P\left ( \frac{A}{E_1} \right )+P(E_2)\times P\left ( \frac{A}{E_2} \right )}\\ &=\frac{{\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{1}{100} }}{\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{1}{100}+\frac{40}{100}\times \frac{4}{100}}\\ &=\frac{6}{6+16}\\ &=\frac{6}{22}\\ &=\frac{3}{11} \end{aligned}
