उत्तर
We will use here Bayes’ Theorem
`"P"("E"_2/"F") = ("P"("E"_2)*"P"("F"/"E"_2))/("P"("E"_1) * "P"("F"/"E"_1) + "P"("E"_2) * "P"("F"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3) * "p"("F"/"E"_3))`
= `(2/6*1/3)/(1/6*0 + 2/6*1/3 + 3/6*1)`
= `(2/18)/(2/18 + 3/6)`
= `2/11`

Three persons A, B and C apply for a job of Manager in a Private Company. Chances of their selection (A, B and C) are in the ratio 1 : 2 :4. The probabilities that A, B and C can introduce changes to improve profits of the company are 0.8, 0.5 and 0.3, respectively. If the change does not take place, find the probability that it is due to the appointment of C
A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (that is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
A factory has two machines A and B. Past record shows that machine A produced 60% of the items of output and machine B produced 40% of the items. Further, 2% of the items produced by machine A and 1% produced by machine B were defective. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that was produced by machine B?
