One of the bags is chosen at random and a marble is picked from the chosen bag. What is the probability that the chosen marble is red?

उत्तर
Let B1, B2, B3 be the events that bag 1, bag 2, bag 3 are selected.
Clearly P(B1) = P(B2) = P(B3) =`1/3`.
Let R1, R2, R3 be the events that red marble is drawn from bag 1, bag 2, bag 3 respectively.
If R is the event that red ball is drawn, then
R = (B1 ∩ R1) ∪ (B2 ∩ R2) ∪ (B3 ∩ R3)
The events in the brackets are mutually exclusive
∴ P(R) = P(B1 ∩ R1) + P(B2 ∩ R2) + P(B3 ∩ R3)
= `"P"("B"_1)*"P"("R"_1/"B"_1)+"P"("B"_2)*"P"("R"_2/"B"_2) + "P"("B"_3)* "P"("R"_3/"B"_3)` ...(1)
`"P"("R"_1/"B"_1)` = Probability that red marble is drawn given that bag 1 is chosen
= `75/100 ...[("Bag 1 has 100 marbles"),("of which 75 are red")]`
Similarly `"P"("R"_2/"B"_2) = 60/100`
`"P"("R"_3/"B"_3) = 45/100`
∴ from (1), P(R) = `1/3* 75/100 + 1/3* 60/100 + 1/3 * 45/100`
=`180/300`
= `3/5`

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)

`= square + square + square`
`= square`
`"P"("C"//"L") = ("P"("L" ∩ "C"))/("P"("L"))`
= `("P"("C") * "P"("L"//"C"))/("P"("L"))`
`= (square * square)/square`
