A hint to get started
Correct the intermediate expansion before solving for the percentage
p% of students take Mathematics A and the remaining(100−p)% take Mathematics B.30% of Math A students fail and 40% of Math B students fail.
(i) Show that the probability exactly one of two students fails is . marks
(ii) Given the probability both take Math A, conditional on exactly one failing, is , find p. marks
