Two groups of male students cast their votes on a particular proposal. The result are as follows:
In favor Against
Group A 128 32
Group B 96 48
If a student in favor of the proposal is selected for a post, what is the probability that he is from group A?
  • A 8/19
  • B 16/35
  • C 10/19
  • D 4/7
  • E 4/5

The correct answer is A. 8/19

Probability that a student in favor is group A

= \(\frac{128}{128 + 32 + 96 + 48}\)

= \(\frac{128}{304}\)

= \(\frac{8}{19}\)
