Bag A contains 3 white, 7 red balls and bag B contains 3 white, 2 red balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. The probability of drawing the ball from the bag A, if the ball drawn in white, is :
  1. 14
  2. 19
  3. 13
  4. 310

Solution

Given: Given balls in bags are A3W, 7RB3W, 2R

Let, E1:A is selected

E2:B is selected

and E: white ball is drawn

Using Baye's theorem,
PE1E=P(E1)·PEE1PE1·PEE1+PE2·PEE2

PE1E=12×31012×310+12×35

PE1E=320320+620

PE1E=33+6

PE1E=13
