$A, B_1, B_2, B_3$ are the events in a random experiment. If $P(B_1)=0.25, P(B_2)=0.30, P(B_3)=0.45, P(A|B_1)=0.05, P(A|B_2)=0.04, P(A|B_3)=0.03$, then $P(B_2|A) = $

In a certain recruitment test with multiple-choice questions, there are four options for each question, out of which only one is correct. An intelligent student knows $90 \%$ of the correct answers, while a weak student knows only $20 \%$ of the correct answers. If a weak student gets the correct answer, what is the probability that they were guessing?

$A$ bag contains $2n+1$ coins. It is known that $n$ of these coins have heads on both sides,whereas the other $n+1$ coins are fair. One coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability that the toss results in heads is $\frac{31}{42}$,then the value of $n$ is

For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

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 $\frac{4}{5}$.
