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

Correct answer is A

Probability that a student in favor is group A

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

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

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