Step-by-Step Solution

We are given $P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{8}$ and $P(\bar{A}) = \frac{3}{4}$. We need to find $P(\frac{B}{A})$.

First, we find $P(A)$ using the complement rule: $P(A) = 1 - P(\bar{A}) = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Next, we use the formula for conditional probability: $P(\frac{B}{A}) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$.

Substituting the given values, we get $P(\frac{B}{A}) = \frac{\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$.

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$

A box contains 6 cards numbered 1 to 6. A student is asked to pick up two cards, one by one after replacement and note down the numbers on the cards. Let A be the event of getting sum of the numbers on two cards as 10, and B, the event of a number other than 4 on the first card selected. Find P(A and B) and find whether the events A and B are independent events or not.

(a) In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let 3/5 be the probability that he knows the answer and 2/5 be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability 1/3. What is the probability that the student knows the answer, given that he answered it correctly?
