In a test,a student either guesses,copies,or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question with four choices. The probability that he guesses is $1/3$ and the probability that he copies the answer is $1/6$. The probability that his answer is correct,given that he copied it,is $1/8$. The probability that he knew the answer to the question,given that he answered it correctly,is

  • A
    $\frac{29}{24}$
  • B
    $\frac{22}{29}$
  • C
    $\frac{24}{29}$
  • D
    $\frac{23}{29}$

$A$ doctor is to visit a patient. From past experience,it is known that the probabilities that he will come by train,bus,scooter,or by other means of transport are respectively $\frac{3}{10}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10},$ and $\frac{2}{5}$. The probabilities that he will be late are $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3},$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ if he comes by train,bus,and scooter respectively,but if he comes by other means of transport,then he will not be late. When he arrives,he is late. What is the probability that he comes by train?

$A$ signal which can be green or red with probability $\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ respectively,is received by station $A$ and then transmitted to station $B$. The probability of each station receiving the signal correctly is $\frac{3}{4}$. If the signal received at station $B$ is green,then the probability that the original signal was green is

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?

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:

In an examination,there are $4$ Yes/No type questions. The probability that a student answers a question correctly without guessing is $2/3$. The probability that a student guesses a correct answer is $1/2$. $A$ student writes the examination either by not guessing any of the $4$ questions or by guessing all $4$ questions. The probability that they attempt the exam by guessing all questions is $3/7$. Given that a student answered at least $3$ questions correctly,what is the probability that they answered all questions without guessing?
