The probability that a car being filled with petrol will also need an oil change is 0.30; the probability that it needs a new oil filter is 0.40; and the probability that both the oil and filter need changing is 0.15. If the oil had to be changed, what is the probability that a new oil filter is needed?

उत्तर
Let A be the event of changing oil, B be the event of changing oil filter.
Given P(A) = 0.30
P(B) = 0.40
P(A ∩ B) = 0.15
Probability of new oil filter B needed when the oil A changed is
P(B/A) = `("P"("B" ∪ "A"))/("P"("A"))`
= `0.15/0.30`
= `15/30`
= `1/2`
= 0.5

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

Three machines E1, E2, E3 in a certain factory produced 50%, 25% and 25%, respectively, of the total daily output of electric tubes.
