For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{35}{78}$
  • B
    $\frac{14}{39}$
  • C
    $\frac{10}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{12}{13}$

$A$ and $B$ are two events of a random experiment such that $P(B)=0.4$, $P(A \cap \bar{B})=0.5$, and $P(A \cup B) + P\left(\frac{B}{A \cup \bar{B}}\right) = 1.15$. Then $P(A) = $

$A$ dealer gets refrigerators from $3$ different manufacturing companies $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$. $25 \%$ of his stock is from $C_1, 35 \%$ from $C_2$ and $40 \%$ from $C_3$. The percentages of receiving defective refrigerators from $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ are $3 \%, 2 \%$ and $1 \%$ respectively. If a refrigerator sold at random is found to be defective by a customer, then the probability that it is from $C_2$ is

In a test,a student either guesses,copies,or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question with four choices. The probability that he guesses is $1/3$ and the probability that he copies the answer is $1/6$. The probability that his answer is correct,given that he copied it,is $1/8$. The probability that he knew the answer to the question,given that he answered it correctly,is
