Detailed Solution

Step 1: Define Events

Let $K$ be the event that the lost card is a King. Let $E$ be the event that a card drawn from the remaining cards is a King.

Step 2: Determine Prior Probabilities

We want to find $P(K|E)$, the probability that the lost card is a King given that a card drawn is a King. $P(K) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$ (Probability that the lost card is a King) $P(K') = 1 - P(K) = 1 - \frac{1}{13} = \frac{12}{13}$ (Probability that the lost card is not a King)

Step 3: Determine Conditional Probabilities

$P(E|K) = \frac{3}{51}$ (Probability of drawing a King given that the lost card was a King) $P(E|K') = \frac{4}{51}$ (Probability of drawing a King given that the lost card was not a King)

Step 4: Apply Bayes' Theorem

Using Bayes' Theorem, we have: $$P(K|E) = \frac{P(E|K)P(K)}{P(E|K)P(K) + P(E|K')P(K')}$$ $$P(K|E) = \frac{\frac{3}{51} \cdot \frac{1}{13}}{\frac{3}{51} \cdot \frac{1}{13} + \frac{4}{51} \cdot \frac{12}{13}}$$ $$P(K|E) = \frac{\frac{3}{51 \cdot 13}}{\frac{3}{51 \cdot 13} + \frac{48}{51 \cdot 13}}$$ $$P(K|E) = \frac{3}{3 + 48} = \frac{3}{51} = \frac{1}{17}$$

For the vacancy advertised in the newspaper, 3000 candidates submitted their applications. From the data it was revealed that two third of the total applicants were females and other were males. The selection for the job was done through a written test. The performance of the applicants indicates that the probability of a male getting a distinction in written test is 0.4 and that a female getting a distinction is 0.35. Find the probability that the candidate chosen at random will have a distinction in the written test.
