Suppose that the reliability of an $HIV$ test is specified as follows: Of people having $HIV$,$90\%$ of the tests detect the disease,but $10\%$ go undetected. Of people free of $HIV$,$99\%$ of the tests are judged $HIV$ negative,but $1\%$ are diagnosed as showing $HIV$ positive. From a large population of which only $0.1\%$ have $HIV$,one person is selected at random,given the $HIV$ test,and the pathologist reports him/her as $HIV$ positive. What is the probability that the person actually has $HIV$?

  • A
    $0.083$
  • B
    $0.091$
  • C
    $0.075$
  • D
    $0.102$

$A$ die is thrown. Box $B_1$ is chosen if either $1$ or $2$ turns up. Box $B_2$ is chosen if $3$ or $4$ turns up and box $B_3$ is chosen if $5$ or $6$ turns up. Having chosen a box in this way,a ball is drawn at random from that box. If the ball drawn is found to be Red,then the probability that it is drawn from box $B_2$ is
