Q31 short answer
It is known that 20% of the students in a school have above 90% attendance and 80% of the students are irregular. Past year results show that 80% of students who have above 90% attendance and 20% of irregular students get ‘A’ grade in their annual examination. At the end of a year, a student is chosen at random from the school and is found to have an ‘A’ grade. What is the probability that the student is irregular?
