The percentage of mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-engineer- ing students in the course, Engineering Mathematics, is, respectively, 25, 20, 15, 22, and 18. The probability of a mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-en- gineering students getting the grade A is 0.7, 0.6, 0.8, 0.5, and 0.65, respectively. If a student chosen at random at the end of the semester earned an A in the course, find the probability of the student belonging to mechanical engineering.
