Question 50

In a reputed engineering college in Delhi, students are evaluated based on trimesters. The probability that an Engineering student fails in the first trimester is 0.08. If he does not fail in the first trimester, the probability that he is promoted to the second year is 0.87. The probability that the student will complete the first year in the Engineering College is approximately:

Solution

The probability that the student passes in the first trimester is 0.92

Now given that if the student passes in the first trimester then probability of moving into second second year is 0.87

Hence, the probability of completing first year is 0.92 x 0.87 = 0.80
