Complete Question

A teacher gave his class two quizzes. 80% of the class passed the first quiz, but only 60% of the class passed both quizzes. What percent of those who passed the first one passed the second quiz? (2 points)

a) 20%

b) 40%

c) 60%

d) 75%

Answer:

d) 75%

Explanation:

We would be solving this question using conditional probability.

Let us represent the percentage of those who passed the first quiz as A = 80%

and

Those who passed the first quiz as B = unknown

Those who passed the first and second quiz as A and B = 60%

The formula for conditional probability is given as

P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

Where,

P(B|A) = the percent of those who passed the first one passed the second

Hence,

P(B|A) = 60/80

= 0.75

In percent form, 0.75 × 100 = 75%

Therefore, from the calculations above, 75% of those who passed the first quiz to also passed the second quiz.
