Suppose that $5 \%$ of men and $0.25 \%$ of women have gray hair. $A$ person with gray hair is selected at random. If there are an equal number of males and females,then the probability that the selected person is a man is:

  • A
    $\frac{20}{21}$
  • B
    $\frac{10}{21}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{21}$
  • D
    $\frac{11}{21}$

In an entrance test,there are multiple-choice questions. There are four possible answers to each question,of which one is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to a question is $9/10$. If he gets the correct answer to a question,then the probability that he was guessing is:

$A$ box $B_1$ contains $3$ blue balls and $6$ red balls. Another box $B_2$ contains $8$ blue balls and $n$ red balls $(n \in N)$. $A$ ball selected at random from a box is found to be red. If $p$ is the probability that this red ball drawn is from box $B_2$,then

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?
