Rice University and Stanford University write questions and corresponding solutions for a high school math tournament. The Rice group writes 10 questions every hour but make a mistake in calculating their solutions 10% of the time. The Stanford group writes 20 problems every hour and makes solution mistakes 20% of the time. Each school works for 10 hours and then sends all problems to Smartie to be checked. However, Smartie isn’t really so smart, and only 75% of the problems she thinks are wrong are actually incorrect. Smartie thinks 20% of questions from Rice have incorrect solutions, and that 10% of questions from Stanford have incorrect solutions. This problem was definitely written and solved correctly. What is the probability that Smartie thinks its solution is wrong?
