Question
The probability that a student selected at random from a class will pass in Mathematics is $\frac{4}{5}$, and the probability that he/ she passes in Mathematics and Computer Science is $\frac{1}{2}$. What is the probability that he/ she will pass in Computer Science if it is known that he/ she has passed in Mathematics?

Answer

Given,
Probability to pass mathen atics (M)
$\text{P(M)}=\frac{4}{5}$
Probability to pass in mathematics (M) and computer Science (C)
$\text{P}(\text{M}\cap\text{C})=\frac{1}{2}$
To find, $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{C}}{\text{M}}\Big)$
We know tht,
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{C}}{\text{M}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{M}\cap\text{C})}{\text{P(M)}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{4}{5}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{4}$
$=\frac{8}{5}$
Required probability $=\frac{8}{5}$
