1.
Firstly, we will define the probability of passing the theory test as P1 (P1 = 0.75)
2.
We will also define the probability of failing the theory test as P2 (P2 = 0.25)
3.
Along with the two unknowns: x = Failing the practical test y = Passing the practical test
4.
We can now create the formula: P1 × x + P2 × y = 0.47
5.
As y = 1 - x we swap y for this: P1 × x + P2 × (1 - x) = 0.47
6.
And swap in the values for P1 & P2 : 0.75 × x + 0.25(1 - x) = 0.47
7.
Now simplify: 0.75x + 0.25 - 0.25x = 0.47
8.
Simplify for x (minus 0.47 by 0.25): 0.5x = 0.22
9.
Therefore: x = 0.44
10.
We can now find y: 1 - 0.44 = 0.56
