(A) Let $E_{1}$ be the event that the outcome on the die is $5$ or $6$ and $E_{2}$ be the event that the outcome on the die is $1, 2, 3,$ or $4$.$P(E_{1}) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ and $P(E_{2}) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$.Let $A$ be the event of getting exactly one head.$P(A | E_{1})$ is the probability of getting exactly one head by tossing a coin three times: $\binom{3}{1} (\frac{1}{2})^1 (\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{3}{8}$.$P(A | E_{2})$ is the probability of getting exactly one head in a single throw of a coin: $\frac{1}{2}$.We need to find $P(E_{2} | A)$. By Bayes' theorem:$P(E_{2} | A) = \frac{P(E_{2}) P(A | E_{2})}{P(E_{1}) P(A | E_{1}) + P(E_{2}) P(A | E_{2})}$$P(E_{2} | A) = \frac{(\frac{2}{3}) (\frac{1}{2})}{(\frac{1}{3}) (\frac{3}{8}) + (\frac{2}{3}) (\frac{1}{2})}$$P(E_{2} | A) = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{3+8}{24}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{11}{24}} = \frac{1}{3} 	imes \frac{24}{11} = \frac{8}{11}$.

In an entrance test, there are multiple-choice questions. There are four possible answers to each question, of which one is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to a question is $9/10$. If he gets the correct answer to a question, then the probability that he was guessing is

$A$ bag contains $(N+1)$ coins: $N$ fair coins, and one coin with 'Head' on both sides. $A$ coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability of getting 'Head' is $\frac{9}{16}$, then $N$ is equal to:

$A$ bag contains $2n+1$ coins. It is known that $n$ of these coins have a head on both sides, whereas the remaining $n+1$ coins are fair. $A$ coin is picked up at random from the bag and tossed. If the probability that the toss results in a head is $\frac{31}{42}$, then $n$ is equal to
