A man is known to speak truth 3 out of 4 times. He throws a die and reports that it is four. The probability that it is actually four is :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(\text{actual four}) = \frac{1}{6} \) \( P(\text{not actual four}) = \frac{5}{6} \) \( P(\text{man speaks truth}) = \frac{3}{4} \) \( P(\text{man lies}) = \frac{1}{4} \) \( P(\text{reports 4 | actual 4}) = P(\text{truth}) = \frac{3}{4} \)…
