If we divide accents broadly into "native English," "French," and "other foreign" it turns out that a random British person can correctly distinguish French and other foreign accents from one another 90% of the time, and people can always correctly distinguish native English speakers.
Suppose the population in London contains 100,000 French people, 3,000,000 other foreigners, and 5,000,000 native English speakers. If a random British person in London overhears someone and thinks their accent sounds foreign but not French, what is the probability that that person actually is French? (Round your answer to the nearest 10%.)
