$A$ factory has a total of three manufacturing units,$M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$,which produce bulbs independently. The units $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$,respectively. It is known that $20\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that,of all the bulbs produced by $M_1, 15\%$ are defective. Suppose that,if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective,the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$,then the probability that it is defective is $.....$ .

Bag $A$ contains $6$ Green and $8$ Red balls and bag $B$ contains $9$ Green and $5$ Red balls. $A$ card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of $52$ playing cards. If it is a spade,two balls are drawn at random from bag $A$,otherwise two balls are drawn at random from bag $B$. If the two balls drawn are found to be of the same colour,then the probability that they are drawn from bag $A$ is

$A$ computer producing factory has only two plants $T_1$ and $T_2$. Plant $T_1$ produces $20 \%$ and plant $T_2$ produces $80 \%$ of the total computers produced. $7 \%$ of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that $P(\text{defective} | T_1) = 10 P(\text{defective} | T_2)$. $A$ computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it is not defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant $T_2$ is

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:

$A$ company produces $10,000$ items per day. On a particular day, $2500$ items were produced on machine $A$, $3500$ on machine $B$, and $4000$ on machine $C$. The probability that an item produced by machines $A, B, C$ is defective is $2 \%$, $3 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. If one item is selected at random from the output and is found to be defective, then the probability that it was produced by machine $C$ is:
