There are three bags $X$,$Y$,and $Z$. Bag $X$ contains $5$ one-rupee coins and $4$ five-rupee coins; Bag $Y$ contains $4$ one-rupee coins and $5$ five-rupee coins; and Bag $Z$ contains $3$ one-rupee coins and $6$ five-rupee coins. $A$ bag is selected at random and a coin drawn from it at random is found to be a one-rupee coin. Then the probability that it came from bag $Y$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{12}$

The probability of men getting a certain disease is $\frac{1}{2}$ and that of women getting the same disease is $\frac{1}{5}$. The blood test that identifies the disease gives the correct result with probability $\frac{4}{5}$.

$A$ shopkeeper buys a particular type of electric bulbs from three manufacturers $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$. He buys $25 \%$ of his requirement from $M_1$,$45 \%$ from $M_2$,and $30 \%$ from $M_3$. Based on past experience,he found that $2 \%$ of type $M_3$ bulbs are defective,whereas only $1 \%$ of type $M_1$ and type $M_2$ bulbs are defective. If a bulb chosen by him at random is defective,then the probability that it was of type $M_3$ is

$A$ company produces $10,000$ items per day. On a particular day, $2500$ items were produced on machine $A$, $3500$ on machine $B$, and $4000$ on machine $C$. The probability that an item produced by machines $A, B, C$ is defective is $2 \%$, $3 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. If one item is selected at random from the output and is found to be defective, then the probability that it was produced by machine $C$ is:

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 $HIV$?

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 heads,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. If it shows tails,$2$ 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 heads (in $/23$)?
