$A$ laboratory blood test is $99 \%$ effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact,present. However,the test also yields a false positive result for $0.5 \%$ of the healthy persons tested (that is,if a healthy person is tested,then,with probability $0.005,$ the test will imply he has the disease). If $0.1 \%$ of the population actually has the disease,what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?

  • A
    $\frac{22}{133}$
  • B
    $\frac{22}{135}$
  • C
    $\frac{22}{137}$
  • D
    $\frac{22}{139}$

Let $U_1$ and $U_2$ be two urns such that $U_1$ contains $3$ white and $2$ red balls,and $U_2$ contains only $1$ white ball. $A$ fair coin is tossed. If head appears,then $1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and put into $U_2$. However,if tail appears,then $2$ balls are drawn at random from $U_1$ and put into $U_2$. Now $1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_2$.
$1.$ The probability of the drawn ball from $U_2$ being white is
$(A)$ $\frac{13}{30}$ $(B)$ $\frac{23}{30}$ $(C)$ $\frac{19}{30}$ $(D)$ $\frac{11}{30}$
$2.$ Given that the drawn ball from $U_2$ is white,the probability that head appeared on the coin is
