There are two boxes,each containing $10$ balls. In each box,some are black and the rest are white. $A$ ball is drawn at random from one of the boxes and it is found to be black. If the probability that the black ball drawn is from the second box is $\frac{1}{5}$,then the number of black balls in the first box is:

  • A
    $5$ or $10$
  • B
    $2$ or $7$
  • C
    $4$ or $8$
  • D
    $3$ or $6$ or $9$

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:

$A, B, C$ are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment and $E$ is an event that occurs in conjunction with one of the events $A, B, C$. The conditional probabilities of $E$ given the happening of $A, B, C$ are respectively $0.6, 0.3$ and $0.1$. If $P(A)=0.30$ and $P(B)=0.50$,then $P(C \mid E)=$

Two groups are competing for the position on the board of directors of a corporation. The probabilities that the first and the second groups will win are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively. Further,if the first group wins,the probability of introducing a new product is $0.7$ and the corresponding probability is $0.3$ if the second group wins. Find the probability that the new product was introduced by the second group. (in $/9$)

If a machine is correctly set up,it produces $90\%$ acceptable items. If it is incorrectly set up,it produces only $40\%$ acceptable items. Past experience shows that $80\%$ of the set ups are correctly done. If after a certain set up,the machine produces $2$ acceptable items,find the probability that the machine is correctly set up.

$A$ bag contains $8$ balls,whose colors are either white or black. $4$ balls are drawn at random without replacement and it was found that $2$ balls are white and $2$ balls are black. The probability that the bag originally contained an equal number of white and black balls is:
