In answering a question in a multiple choice test a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let `3/4` be the probability that he knows the answer and `1/4` be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability `1/4` . What is the probability that a student knows the answer, given that he answered it correctly ?
