Question

Given that the probability of a student spending time reading is 0.59, and the probability of a student doing well on anexam and spending time reading is 0.58, what is the probability of a student doing well on an exam given that the student spends time reading?

Answer 1

Let

x -----> the probability of a student doing well on an exam

we have that

x*0.59=0.58

solve for x

x=0.58/0.59

x=0.983

therefore

the probability is 0.983
