One of the bags is chosen at random and a marble is picked from the chosen bag. What is the probability that the chosen marble is red?

उत्तर
Let B1, B2, B3 be the events that bag 1, bag 2, bag 3 are selected.
Clearly P(B1) = P(B2) = P(B3) =`1/3`.
Let R1, R2, R3 be the events that red marble is drawn from bag 1, bag 2, bag 3 respectively.
If R is the event that red ball is drawn, then
R = (B1 ∩ R1) ∪ (B2 ∩ R2) ∪ (B3 ∩ R3)
The events in the brackets are mutually exclusive
∴ P(R) = P(B1 ∩ R1) + P(B2 ∩ R2) + P(B3 ∩ R3)
= `"P"("B"_1)*"P"("R"_1/"B"_1)+"P"("B"_2)*"P"("R"_2/"B"_2) + "P"("B"_3)* "P"("R"_3/"B"_3)` ...(1)
`"P"("R"_1/"B"_1)` = Probability that red marble is drawn given that bag 1 is chosen
= `75/100 ...[("Bag 1 has 100 marbles"),("of which 75 are red")]`
Similarly `"P"("R"_2/"B"_2) = 60/100`
`"P"("R"_3/"B"_3) = 45/100`
∴ from (1), P(R) = `1/3* 75/100 + 1/3* 60/100 + 1/3 * 45/100`
=`180/300`
= `3/5`

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?

Of the students in a school, it is known that 30% have 100% attendance and 70% students are irregular. Previous year results report that 70% of all students who have 100% attendance attain A grade and 10% irregular students attain A grade in their annual examination.
