In a bolt factory, machines X, Y and Z manufacture 20%, 35% and 45% respectively of the total output. Of their output 8%, 6% and 5% respectively are defective bolts. One bolt is drawn at random from the product and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured in machine Y?
उत्तर
Let E1, E2, E3 be the events of drawing of bolt produced by machine X, Y and Z respectively.
Let D be the event of drawing a defective bolt.
∴ P(E1) = `20/100`
P(E2) = `35/100`
P(E3) = `45/100`
and `"P"("D"/"E"_1) = 8/100`
`"P"("D"/"E"_2) = 6/100`
`"P"("D"/"E"_3) = 5/100`
By Bayes theorem
P(defective bolt is produced by machine Y)
`"P"("E"_2/"D") = ("P"("E"_2)"P"("D"/"E"_2))/("P"("E"_1)"P"("D"/"E"_1) + "P"("E"_2)"P"("D"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3)"P"("D"/"E"_3))`
= `(35/100 xx 6/100)/(20/100 xx 8/100 + 35/100 xx 6/100 + 45/100 xx 5/100)`
= `210/(160 + 210 + 225)`
= `210/595`
∴ `"P"("E"_2/"D") = 6/17`

There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the times and the third is also a biased coin that comes up tails 40% of the time. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed and it shows heads. What is the probability that it was the two-headed coin?
An urn contains 5 red and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random, its colour is noted and is returned to the urn. Moreover, 2 additional balls of the colour drawn are put in the urn and then a ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the second ball is red?
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?

Three urns contains 2 white and 3 black balls; 3 white and 2 black balls and 4 white and 1 black ball respectively. One ball is drawn from an urn chosen at random and it was found to be white. Find the probability that it was drawn from the first urn.
The contents of three urns are as follows:
Urn 1 : 7 white, 3 black balls, Urn 2 : 4 white, 6 black balls, and Urn 3 : 2 white, 8 black balls. One of these urns is chosen at random with probabilities 0.20, 0.60 and 0.20 respectively. From the chosen urn two balls are drawn at random without replacement. If both these balls are white, what is the probability that these came from urn 3?

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when its infection is present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1% of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
