An item is tested on a device for its defectiveness. The probability that such an item is defective is $0.3$. The device gives an accurate result in $8$ out of $10$ such tests. If the device reports that an item tested is not defective,then the probability that it is actually defective is:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{15}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{29}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{31}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{51}$
