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 $\frac{4}{5}$. Suppose a person is chosen at random from a group of $30$ males and $20$ females,and the blood test of that person is found to be positive. What is the probability that the chosen person is a man?

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 $n=$

There are three families $F_1, F_2, F_3$. $F_1$ has $2$ boys and $1$ girl; $F_2$ has $1$ boy and $2$ girls; $F_3$ has $1$ boy and $1$ girl. $A$ family is randomly chosen and a child is chosen from that family randomly. If it is known that the child thus selected is a girl,then the probability that she is from $F_2$ is

$A$ person is known to speak truth in $3$ out of $5$ times. If he throws a die and reports that it is six,then the probability that it is actually six,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?
