  2. B \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(T) = P(T|A)P(A) + P(T|B)P(B) + P(T|C)P(C)\) \(P(T) = (0.6 \times \frac{1}{3}) + (0.7 \times \frac{1}{3}) + (0.8 \times \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}(0.6 + 0.7 + 0.8) = \frac{1}{3}(2.1) = 0.7\) \(P(B|T) = \frac{P(T|B)P(B)}{P(T)}\)…
