1) Player A, B, and C play a quiz game. For each question, a player who rings a buzzer first has an opportunity to answer the question. For each question, only one player can answer the question, and player A, B, and C have 20%, 30%, and 50% chance of ringing the buzzer respectively. Once given an opportunity to answer, player A, B, and C have 50%, 40%, and 30% chance of making the right guess respectively. Questions are independent to each other, and every question is answered. (a) Once a question is asked, find the probability that player A gives the correct answer. (b) Once a question is asked, find the probability that the answer is correct. (c) Find the probability that given that the answer is correct, the player who answered it is A.
