There are two groups of subjects one of which consists of 5science subjects and 3 engineering subjects and the other consistsof 3 science subjects and 5 engineering subjects. An unbiased die iscast. If the number 3 or 5 turns up, a subject from the first group isselected at random otherwise a subject is randomly selected fromthe second group. Find the probability that an engineering subjectis selected ultimately.

Here, P(Engineering |Group 1)=3/8 P(Group 1) =2/6 P(Engineering |Group 2)=5/8 P(Group 2) =4/6

B has 80% accuracy, and C has 50% accuracy. We also assume that players are not required to aim at an opponent, they can simply shoot in the air if they desire. Show that C is the one that is most likely to survive this shootout
