Assume that the probability of a patient having a heart attack is $40 \%$. It is also assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of a heart attack by $30 \%$ and the prescription of a certain drug reduces its risk by $25 \%$. $A$ patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probability. Given that a patient selected at random suffers a heart attack after choosing one of the two options,find the probability that the patient followed the course of meditation and yoga.

Three boxes $B_1$,$B_2$ and $B_3$ contain balls with different colors as follows:
Box White,Black,Red
$B_1$ $2, 1, 2$
$B_2$ $3, 2, 4$
$B_3$ $4, 3, 2$

$A$ die is thrown. Box $B_1$ is chosen if either $1$ or $2$ turns up. Box $B_2$ is chosen if $3$ or $4$ turns up and box $B_3$ is chosen if $5$ or $6$ turns up. Having chosen a box in this way,a ball is drawn at random from that box. If the ball drawn is found to be Red,then the probability that it is drawn from box $B_2$ is

$A$ factory has a total of three manufacturing units,$M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$,which produce bulbs independently. The units $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$,respectively. It is known that $20\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that,of all the bulbs produced by $M_1, 15\%$ are defective. Suppose that,if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective,the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$,then the probability that it is defective is $.....$ .

On every evening,a student either watches $TV$ or reads a book. The probability of watching $TV$ is $\frac{4}{5}$. If he watches $TV$,the probability that he will fall asleep is $\frac{3}{4}$ and it is $\frac{1}{4}$ when he reads a book. If the student is found to be asleep on an evening,the probability that he watched the $TV$ is
