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
- A
\(\frac{2}{n+1}\)
- B
\(\frac{1}{n+1}\)
- C
\(\frac{n}{n+1}\)
- D
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A)
\(\frac{2}{n+1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P\left(\frac{u_i}{W}\right)=\frac{\frac{n}{n+1}}{\frac{\Sigma i}{n+1}}=\frac{2}{n+1}\)
