7. (10 pts) A student is solving a numerical problem whose answer is one of the numbers: 1, 2, ..., k. The probability of her finding a correct solution is p (which is a function of her training). If she cannot find the solution, she guesses the answer as one of the k numbers with equal probability 1/k. Given that the answer is correct, what is the probability that she obtained it using a correct solution (i.e., it was not a lucky guess)? What happens when ko?
