Three bags contain a number of red and white balls are as follows.
Bag I: 3 red balls
Bag II: 2 red balls and 1 white ball
Bag III: 3 White balls
The probability that bag \(i\) will be chosen and a ball is selected from it is \(\dfrac{i}{6}, i=1,2,3\). if a white ball is selected, what is the probablity that it came from Bag III
- A \(\dfrac{9}{11}\)
- B 0
- C \(\dfrac{1}{11}\)
- D \(\dfrac{2}{11}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\dfrac{9}{11}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(B_1, B_2, B_3\) be the events of choosing Bag I, Bag II, and Bag III respectively. Let \(W\) be the event of selecting a white ball. The probabilities of choosing the bags are given by \(P(B_1) = \dfrac{1}{6}\), \(P(B_2) = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}\), and…
