From a certain population, the probability of choosing a colour blind man is $\frac{1}{20}$ and that of a colour blind woman is $\frac{1}{10}$. If a randomly chosen person is found to be colour blind, then the probability that the person is a man is

  • A
    $\frac{2}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{9}$

Suppose that the reliability of an $HIV$ test is specified as follows: Of people having $HIV$,$90\%$ of the tests detect the disease,but $10\%$ go undetected. Of people free of $HIV$,$99\%$ of the tests are judged $HIV$ negative,but $1\%$ are diagnosed as showing $HIV$ positive. From a large population of which only $0.1\%$ have $HIV$,one person is selected at random,given the $HIV$ test,and the pathologist reports him/her as $HIV$ positive. What is the probability that the person actually has $HIV$?

Bag $I$ contains $3$ red and $4$ black balls and Bag $II$ contains $4$ red and $5$ black balls. One ball is transferred from Bag $I$ to Bag $II$ and then a ball is drawn from Bag $II$. The ball so drawn is found to be red in colour. Find the probability that the transferred ball is black.

There are three bags $B_1, B_2$ and $B_3$. The bag $B_1$ contains $5$ red and $5$ green balls,$B_2$ contains $3$ red and $5$ green balls,and $B_3$ contains $5$ red and $3$ green balls. Bags $B_1, B_2$ and $B_3$ have probabilities $\frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{10}$ and $\frac{4}{10}$ respectively of being chosen. $A$ bag is selected at random and a ball is chosen at random from the bag. Then which of the following options is/are correct?
$(1)$ Probability that the selected bag is $B_3$ and the chosen ball is green equals $\frac{3}{20}$
$(2)$ Probability that the chosen ball is green equals $\frac{39}{80}$
$(3)$ Probability that the chosen ball is green,given that the selected bag is $B_3$,equals $\frac{3}{8}$
$(4)$ Probability that the selected bag is $B_3$,given that the chosen ball is green,equals $\frac{4}{13}$
