draws 4 balls from the box at random. Find the probalbility

that among the balls drawn, there is at least onc ballo

(b) In a test, a candidate either guesses or copies or knows

the answer to a multiple choice question with four choices.

The probability that he makes a guess is 1/3 and the

probability that he copies the answer is 1/6. The probability

that is answer is correct, given that he copied it is 1/8.

Find the probability that he knew the answer to the question

given that he correctly answered it. 6. 6
