Question 806239: Many students entering unversity take a math course, 1J03.
In this course, 9% of the students fail, and leave the university.
29% of the students pass, but get a low mark, and move on to 1E03.
62% of the students pass, and get a high mark, and move on to 1KR3.
In 1E03, 14% fail, and leave the university. In 1KR3, 21% fail, and depart.
If a student tells his parents he failed mathematics and had to leave the university, what is the probability that he failed out of 1E03?
