$A$ 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
- A$\frac{1}{12}$
- B$\frac{1}{7}$
- C$\frac{5}{7}$
- D$\frac{5}{12}$

View SolutionIn 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
$A$ diagnostic test has a probability of $0.95$ of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain disease and a probability of $0.10$ of giving a positive result when given to a non-sufferer. It is estimated that $0.5 \%$ of the population are suffering from the disease. If this test is administered to a person from this population about whom there is no information relating to the incidence of this disease and the test gives a positive result, then the probability that the person is a sufferer is:
There are two dice $A$ and $B$. Die $A$ has $4$ red and $2$ white faces,and die $B$ has $2$ red and $4$ white faces. $A$ coin is tossed once. If it shows head,die $A$ is rolled; if it shows tail,die $B$ is rolled. If the probability that die $A$ is used is $\left(\frac{32}{33}\right)$ given that red turns up every time in the first $n$ throws,then $n=$
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 $n=$
