The probability of men getting a certain disease is $\frac{1}{2}$ and that of women getting the same disease is $\frac{1}{5}$. The blood test that identifies the disease gives the correct result with probability $\frac{4}{5}$. Suppose a person is chosen at random from a group of $30$ males and $20$ females,and the blood test of that person is found to be positive. What is the probability that the chosen person is a man?

$A$ 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

If $E_1$ and $E_2$ are equally likely, mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and $P(A|E_1) = 0.2$, $P(A|E_2) = 0.3$, then $P(E_1|A)$ is equal to...

$A, B, C$ are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment and $E$ is an event that occurs in conjunction with one of the events $A, B, C$. The conditional probabilities of $E$ given the happening of $A, B, C$ are respectively $0.6, 0.3$ and $0.1$. If $P(A)=0.30$ and $P(B)=0.50$,then $P(C \mid E)=$
