$A$ 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 $B$?

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:

$A$ student appears for a quiz consisting of only true-false type questions and answers all the questions. The student knows the answers of some questions and guesses the answers for the remaining questions. Whenever the student knows the answer of a question,he gives the correct answer. Assume that the probability of the student giving the correct answer for a question,given that he has guessed it,is $\frac{1}{2}$. Also assume that the probability of the answer for a question being guessed,given that the student's answer is correct,is $\frac{1}{6}$. Then the probability that the student knows the answer of a randomly chosen question is

Suppose that a bag $A$ contains $n$ red and $2$ black balls and another bag $B$ contains $2$ red and $n$ black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it at a time. When it is known that the two balls drawn are red,if the probability that those two balls drawn are from bag $A$ is $\frac{6}{7}$,then $n=$

Bag $A$ contains $4$ green and $3$ red balls and bag $B$ contains $4$ red and $3$ green balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball is drawn,which is found to be green. What is the probability that it was drawn from bag $B$?

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the outcome is a head,then a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers obtained on them is noted. If the toss of the coin results in a tail,then a card from a well-shuffled pack of nine cards numbered $1, 2, 3, \dots, 9$ is randomly picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is
