Vishnu has two jars of marbles, Jar A and Jar B.
Jar A contains 3 yellow marbles and 2 green marbles.
Jar B contains 4 yellow marbles and 3 green marbles.
Vishnu flips a fair coin.
If it lands heads, he picks two marbles at random without replacement from Jar A.
If it lands tails, he picks two marbles at random with replacement from Jar B.
Given that Vishnu picked one yellow and one green marble, what is the probability that they came from Jar B?
- A \(\dfrac{21}{41}\)
- B \(\dfrac{40}{89}\)
- C \(\dfrac{20}{41}\)
- D \(\dfrac{49}{89}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\dfrac{40}{89}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(E_1\) be the event of choosing Jar A and \(E_2\) be the event of choosing Jar B. \(P(E_1) = \dfrac{1}{2}\), \(P(E_2) = \dfrac{1}{2}\) Let \(E\) be the event of drawing one yellow and one green marble. For Jar A (without replacement):…
