Question

In a random sample of NU students, 60% of the students are Chemical engineering majors, 30% Process engineering majors, and 10% are civil majors. Of the Chemical engineering majors, 50% were females; whereas, 30% of Process engineering majors were females. Finally, 20% of the civil majors were female. Given that a person is female, what is the probability that she is a Chemical engineering major?
