Bag A contains 3 red and 5 black balls, while bag B contains 4 red and 4 black balls. Two balls are transferred at random from bag A to bag B and then a ball is drawn from bag B at random. If the ball drawn from bag B is found to be red find the probability that two red balls were transferred from A to B.

उत्तर
It is given that bag A contains 3 red and 5 black balls and bag B contains 4 red and 4 black balls.
Let E1, E2, E3 and A be the events as defined below:
E1 : Two red balls are transferred from bag A to bag B.
E2 : One red ball and one black ball is transferred from bag A to bag B.
E3 : Two black balls are transferred from bag A to bag B.
A : Ball drawn from bag B is red.
So,
\[P\left( E_1 \right) = \frac{{^3}{}{C}_2}{{^8}{}{C}_2} = \frac{3}{28}\]
\[P\left( E_2 \right) = \frac{{^3}{}{C}_1 \times {^5}{}{C}_1}{^{8}{}{C}_2} = \frac{15}{28}\]
\[P\left( E_3 \right) = \frac{^{5}{}{C}_2}{^{8}{}{C}_2} = \frac{10}{28}\]
Also,
\[P\left( \frac{A}{E_1} \right) = \frac{6}{10}\]
\[P\left( \frac{A}{E_2} \right) = \frac{5}{10}\]
\[P\left( \frac{A}{E_3} \right) = \frac{4}{10}\]
∴ Required probability
= Probability that two red balls were transferred from A to B given that the ball drawn from bag B is red
\[ = \frac{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( \frac{A}{E_1} \right)}{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( \frac{A}{E_1} \right) + P\left( E_2 \right)P\left( \frac{A}{E_2} \right) + P\left( E_3 \right)P\left( \frac{A}{E_3} \right)} \left[ \text{ Using Baye's Theorem } \right] \]
\[ = \frac{\frac{3}{28} \times \frac{6}{10}}{\frac{3}{28} \times \frac{6}{10} + \frac{15}{28} \times \frac{5}{10} + \frac{10}{28} \times \frac{4}{10}}\]
\[ = \frac{18}{18 + 75 + 40}\]
\[ = \frac{18}{133}\]

Given that P(A) = `square`, P(C) = `square`
P(T) = `square`
P(L/A) = `1/2`, P(L/C) = `square` P(L/T) = `1/4`
P(L) = P(A ∩ L) + P(C ∩ L) + P(T ∩ L)
`="P"("A")*"P"("L"//"A") + "P"("C")*"P"("L"//"C") + "P"("T")*"P"("L"//"T")`
`= square * square + square * square + square * square`
`= square + square + square`
`= square`
`"P"("C"//"L") = ("P"("L" ∩ "C"))/("P"("L"))`
= `("P"("C") * "P"("L"//"C"))/("P"("L"))`
`= (square * square)/square`
`= square`
