The probabilities of having a defective toy in three cartons $A, B, C$ are $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{5}$ respectively. If a carton is selected at random and a toy drawn randomly from it is found to be defective,then the probability that it is drawn from carton $B$ is

  • A
    $\frac{15}{47}$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{47}$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{59}$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{59}$

Events $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ form a partition of the sample space $S$. $A$ is any event such that $P(E_{1}) = P(E_{2}) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(E_{2} | A) = \frac{1}{2}$,and $P(A | E_{2}) = \frac{2}{3}$. Then $P(E_{1} | A)$ is:

In an examination, there are $4$ Yes/No type questions. The probability that a student answers a question correctly without guessing is $2/3$. The probability that a student guesses a correct answer is $1/2$. $A$ student writes the examination either by not guessing any of the $4$ questions or by guessing all $4$ questions. The probability that they attempt the exam by guessing all questions is $3/7$. Given that a student answered at least $3$ questions correctly, what is the probability that they answered all questions without guessing?

There are three bags $B_1, B_2$ and $B_3$. The bag $B_1$ contains $5$ red and $5$ green balls,$B_2$ contains $3$ red and $5$ green balls,and $B_3$ contains $5$ red and $3$ green balls. Bags $B_1, B_2$ and $B_3$ have probabilities $\frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{10}$ and $\frac{4}{10}$ respectively of being chosen. $A$ bag is selected at random and a ball is chosen at random from the bag. Then which of the following options is/are correct?
$(1)$ Probability that the selected bag is $B_3$ and the chosen ball is green equals $\frac{3}{20}$
$(2)$ Probability that the chosen ball is green equals $\frac{39}{80}$
$(3)$ Probability that the chosen ball is green,given that the selected bag is $B_3$,equals $\frac{3}{8}$
$(4)$ Probability that the selected bag is $B_3$,given that the chosen ball is green,equals $\frac{4}{13}$

Bag $A$ contains $2$ white,$1$ black and $3$ red balls and bag $B$ contains $3$ black,$2$ red and $n$ white balls. One bag is chosen at random and $2$ balls drawn from it at random,are found to be $1$ red and $1$ black. If the probability that both balls come from Bag $A$ is $\frac{6}{11}$,then $n$ is equal to

Bag $I$ contains $3$ red,$4$ black,and $3$ white balls. Bag $II$ contains $2$ red,$5$ black,and $2$ white balls. One ball is transferred from Bag $I$ to Bag $II$,and then a ball is drawn from Bag $II$. The ball drawn is found to be black. What is the probability that the transferred ball was red?
