An exam is given to 100 students. The population of the class was 40 male students and 60 female students. Sixty students passed the exam. Of the students that pass the class 20 of them were men, and 36 were women. In order to get feedback on the course, a student is selected to give an interview about the exam.

1. Find the probability that the student passed, given the student is male.
2. Since more women passed the exam than men, is it more likely that a student will pass the exam if they are female?
