The probabilities of having a defective toy in three cartons $A, B, C$ are $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{5}$ respectively. If a carton is selected at random and a toy drawn randomly from it is found to be defective,then the probability that it is drawn from carton $B$ is

  • A
    $\frac{15}{47}$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{47}$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{59}$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{59}$

In 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:

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 it shows head,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. If it shows tail,$2$ balls are drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. Now,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_2$. Given that the ball drawn from $U_2$ is white,what is the probability that the coin showed head?

Three persons $A$, $B$ and $C$ attended a recruitment test. The ratio of the chances of $A$, $B$, $C$ in getting through the test is $1:2:3$ and their probabilities to face the interview successfully are $0.8$, $0.7$, $0.6$ respectively. If one of them is to be selected for the post, then the probability that $A$ gets the post is

If $E_1$ and $E_2$ are equally likely, mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and $P(A|E_1) = 0.2$, $P(A|E_2) = 0.3$, then $P(E_1|A)$ is equal to...

Coloured balls are distributed in four boxes as shown in the following table:
Box Black White Red Blue
$I$$3$$4$$5$$6$
$II$$2$$2$$2$$2$
$III$$1$$2$$3$$1$
$IV$$4$$3$$1$$5$

$A$ box is selected at random and then a ball is randomly drawn from the selected box. If the colour of the ball is black,what is the probability that the ball drawn is from box $III$?
