usage - What is the meaning of のか and how does it differ from か?


What is the meaning of のか in the following sentences? Does it have the same meaning as のですか?



漢字はどう正しく書くのか、どう正しく読むのか、彼らは時々迷います。


参加するのか、参加しないのか、ここではっきり返事しなさい。



Also, I have found sentences of the same structure but instead of のか, they contain only か. For example:




「白」という漢字はどんな時に「はく」と読むか、どんな時に「しろ」と読むか、首をかしげます。


彼はどの大学に入るかはまだ決めていません。



If I change the か in the above two sentences to のか, will it change the meaning?
