There are two coins, one unbiased with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ of getting heads and the other one is biased with probability $\frac{3}{4}$ of getting heads. $A$ coin is selected at random and tossed. It shows heads up. Then, the probability that the unbiased coin was selected is

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

Let $A, B,$ and $C$ be three mutually independent events. Consider the two statements $S_1$ and $S_2$:
$S_1 : A$ and $B \cup C$ are independent.
$S_2 : A$ and $B \cap C$ are independent.
Then:

$A$ box $A$ contains $2$ white,$3$ red and $2$ black balls. Another box $B$ contains $4$ white,$2$ red and $3$ black balls. If two balls are drawn at random,without replacement,from a randomly selected box and one ball turns out to be white while the other ball turns out to be red,then the probability that both balls are drawn from box $B$ is

$A$ bag contains $4$ red and $4$ black balls,another bag contains $2$ red and $6$ black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and a ball is drawn from the bag which is found to be red. Find the probability that the ball is drawn from the first bag.

The probability that a person goes to college by car is $\frac{1}{5}$,by bus is $\frac{2}{5}$,and by train is $\frac{3}{5}$. The probabilities that he reaches the college late if he takes a car,bus,or train are $\frac{2}{7}$,$\frac{4}{7}$,and $\frac{1}{7}$ respectively. If he reaches the college in time,the probability that he traveled by car is:

In answering a question on a multiple choice test,a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let $\frac{3}{4}$ be the probability that he knows the answer and $\frac{1}{4}$ be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability $\frac{1}{4}$. What is the probability that the student knows the answer given that he answered it correctly?
