The probability that a girl chosen scored A is ⁷/₉

Given;

number of boys in the class, = 55%

number of girls in the class, = 45%

number of the boys who scored A = 25%

number of girls who scored A = 35%

To find:

the probability that a girl chosen scored A

The fraction of the boys who score A:

\(= \frac{25}{55} = \frac{5}{11}\)

The fraction of the girls who scored A:

\(= \frac{35}{45} = \frac{7}{9}\)

Thus, the probability that a girl chosen scored A is ⁷/₉
