Dear all kindly guide me towards solution for Part B

Professor Random has taught probability for many years. She has found that 80% of students who do homework pass the exam, while 10% of students who don’t do the homework pass the exam. If 60% of the students do the homework,
A.what percent of students pass the exam?
B.Of students who pass the exam, what percent did the homework?

Ans:
Part:A
P(Pass who do HW)=.8
P(Fail Who do HW)=.2
P(Pass how not do HW)=.1
P(Fail Who not do HW)=.9
P(Pass if 60% do HW)=52%

A class contains 10 men and 20 women of which half the men and half the women
have brown eyes. Find the probability that a person chosen at random is a man or has
brown eyes.

Solution:

P(Man)=10/30=.33
P(Brown)=15/30=.5
P(M intersect B)=5/30= .166
P(MUB)=P(M)+P(B)-P(M intersect B)
P(MUB)= .33 + .5 - .166
P(MUB)= .664 Ans

If solution wrong kindly guide me

Dear All kindly Guide me if solution is wrong

A bag contains 14 identical balls, 4 of which are red, 5 black and 5 white. 6 balls are
drawn from the bag. Find the probability that,
a. Three are red.
b. At least 2 are white.

Solution:
A.
Total no of possible outcomes 14!/6!8!=3003
n(A)=480
P(3red)=480/3003=.159

For Part B Pls guide me how i start

Kindly correct me if there is any mistakes

A person owns 2 cars, one a compact and one a standard model. About ¾ of the times he uses compact car to travel to work and gets home by 5:30 about 75% of the times. If he uses standard car he gets home by 5:30 about 60% of the times. If he gets home by 5:35, what is the probability that he used the compact car?

P(C)=.75
P(C/05:35)= .25
P(S)= .60
P(S/5:35)= .40
P(05:35/C)=?

P(05:35/C)=  P(C).P(C/05:35)÷P(C).P(C/05:35)+P(S).P(S/5:35)
P(05:35/C)=.43 Ans
