36.There are three categories of students in a class of 60 students:

A: Very hard-working students
B: Regular but not so hard working
C: Careless and irregular.
It’s known that 10 students are in category A, 30 in category B and rest in
category C.It is also found that probability of students of category A, unable to
get good marks in the final year examination is, 0.002, of category B it is 0.02
and of category C, this probability is 0.20.

Based on the above information answer the following :

the examination then find P(E/A) & P(E/B) (1)
 (ii) If a student selected at random was found to be the one who could
not get good marks in the examination, then find the probability that this
student is of category C. (2)

who could not get good marks in the examination. Then find the
probability that this student is either of category A or of category B.
