$A$ student appears for a quiz consisting of only true-false type questions and answers all the questions. The student knows the answers of some questions and guesses the answers for the remaining questions. Whenever the student knows the answer of a question,he gives the correct answer. Assume that the probability of the student giving the correct answer for a question,given that he has guessed it,is $\frac{1}{2}$. Also assume that the probability of the answer for a question being guessed,given that the student's answer is correct,is $\frac{1}{6}$. Then the probability that the student knows the answer of a randomly chosen question is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{12}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{12}$

$A$ 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 $.....$ .

$A$ student has to write the words $ABILITY$,$PROBABILITY$,$FACILITY$,$MOBILITY$. He wrote one word and erased all the letters in it except two consecutive letters. If '$LI$' is left after erasing,then the probability that the boy wrote the word $PROBABILITY$ is

$A$ computer producing factory has only two plants $T_1$ and $T_2$. Plant $T_1$ produces $20 \%$ and plant $T_2$ produces $80 \%$ of the total computers produced. $7 \%$ of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that $P(\text{defective} | T_1) = 10 P(\text{defective} | T_2)$. $A$ computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it is not defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant $T_2$ is

In a certain recruitment test with multiple choice questions,there are four options to answer 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 an intelligent student gets the correct answer for a question,what is the probability that he was guessing it?
