Assume that 40% of graduates come from University A and and earn salaries of 30,000 on average with a standard deviation of 5,000. The remainder come from University B and earn salaries of 25,000 on average with a standard deviation of 7,500. If you are told that a graduate is earning less than 35,000, what is the probability that they came from University A? (Assume salaries are normally distributed.)
