    $\frac{16}{61}$

For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets a $5$ or $6,$ she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of heads. If she gets $1, 2, 3$ or $4,$ she tosses a coin once and notes whether a head or tail is obtained. If she obtained exactly one head,what is the probability that she threw $1, 2, 3$ or $4$ with the die?

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:

The probability that a person goes to college by car is $\frac{1}{5}$,by bus is $\frac{2}{5}$,and by train is $\frac{3}{5}$. The probabilities that he reaches the college late if he takes a car,bus,or train are $\frac{2}{7}$,$\frac{4}{7}$,and $\frac{1}{7}$ respectively. If he reaches the college in time,the probability that he traveled by car is:
