Paragraph:
There are \(n\) urns each containing \((n+1)\) balls such that the ith urn contains \(i\) white balls and \((n+1-i)\) red balls. Let \(u_i\) be the event of selecting ith urn, \(i=1,2,3, \ldots, n\) and \(W\) denotes the event of getting a white balls.Question:
If \(P\left(u_i\right)=c\), where \(c\) is a constant, then \(P\left(u_i / W\right)\) is equal to

  1. A
    \(\frac{2}{n+1}\)
  2. B
    \(\frac{1}{n+1}\)
  3. C
    \(\frac{n}{n+1}\)
  4. D
    \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)
\(\frac{2}{n+1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P\left(\frac{u_i}{W}\right)=\frac{\frac{n}{n+1}}{\frac{\Sigma i}{n+1}}=\frac{2}{n+1}\)
