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?
