Bag $I$ contains $3$ red and $4$ black balls. Bag $II$ contains $5$ red and $6$ black balls. If one ball is drawn at random from one of the bags, and it is found to be red, then the probability that it was drawn from Bag $II$, is

  • A
    $\frac{33}{68}$
  • B
    $\frac{35}{68}$
  • C
    $\frac{37}{68}$
  • D
    $\frac{41}{68}$

For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

Three boxes $B_1$,$B_2$ and $B_3$ contain balls with different colors as follows:
Box White,Black,Red
$B_1$ $2, 1, 2$
$B_2$ $3, 2, 4$
$B_3$ $4, 3, 2$

$A$ die is thrown. Box $B_1$ is chosen if either $1$ or $2$ turns up. Box $B_2$ is chosen if $3$ or $4$ turns up and box $B_3$ is chosen if $5$ or $6$ turns up. Having chosen a box in this way,a ball is drawn at random from that box. If the ball drawn is found to be Red,then the probability that it is drawn from box $B_2$ is

$A$ factory has two machines $A$ and $B$. Past record shows that machine $A$ produced $60 \%$ of the items of output and machine $B$ produced $40 \%$ of the items. Further,$2 \%$ of the items produced by machine $A$ and $1 \%$ produced by machine $B$ were defective. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machine $B$?

Suppose that the reliability of an $HIV$ test is specified as follows: Of people having $HIV$,$90\%$ of the tests detect the disease,but $10\%$ go undetected. Of people free of $HIV$,$99\%$ of the tests are judged $HIV$ negative,but $1\%$ are diagnosed as showing $HIV$ positive. From a large population of which only $0.1\%$ have $HIV$,one person is selected at random,given the $HIV$ test,and the pathologist reports him/her as $HIV$ positive. What is the probability that the person actually has $HIV$?

An item is tested on a device for its defectiveness. The probability that such an item is defective is $0.3$. The device gives an accurate result in $8$ out of $10$ such tests. If the device reports that an item tested is not defective,then the probability that it is actually defective is:
