Suppose that 85% of students who take the AP Statistics exam pass. Suppose further that 65% of those that pass receive college credit, and 4% of those that don't pass receive college credit. If a student who is chosen at random from among those taking the exam receives college credit, what is the probability that she passed the exam?
