Solution
If A and B are two independent events such that P(A) = `1/3` and P(B) = `1/4`, then `P(B^'/A)` is `underlinebb(3/4)`.
Explanation:
Given, P(A) = `1/3`, P(B) = `1/4`
∴ P(B') = `1 - 1/4 = 3/4`
`P(B^'/A) = (P(B^' ∩ A))/(P(A))`
= `(P(B^')P(A))/(P(A))`
= `(3/4 xx 1/3)/(1/3)`
= `3/4`

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?
