Suppose that
Box-I contains 88 red, 33 blue and 55 green balls,
Box-ll contains 2424 red, 99 blue and 1515 green balls,
Box-III contains 11 blue, 1212 green and 33 yellow balls,
Box-IV contains 1010 green, 1616 orange and 66 white balls.
A ball is chosen randomly from Box-l; call this ball bb. If bb is red then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-ll, if bb is blue then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-III, and if bb is green then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-IV. The conditional probability of the event 'one of the chosen balls is white' given that the event 'at least one of the chosen balls is green' has happened, is equal toSuppose that Box-I contains 8 red, 3 blue and 5 green balls, Box-ll contains 24 red, 9 blue and 15 green balls, Box-III

Options

  1. A15256\dfrac{15}{256}
  2. B316\dfrac{3}{16}
  3. C552\dfrac{5}{52}
  4. D18\dfrac{1}{8}

Correct answer

C. 552\dfrac{5}{52}

Step-by-step solution

P(Red from BoxI)=816=12P\left(\text{Red from Box}I\right) = \dfrac{8}{16} = \dfrac{1}{2}

P(Blue from BoxI)=316P\left(\text{Blue from Box}I\right) = \dfrac{3}{16}

P(Green from BoxI)=1032=516P\left(\text{Green from Box}I\right) = \dfrac{10}{32} = \dfrac{5}{16}

Now,

P(Green from BoxII)=1548P\left(\text{Green from Box}II\right) = \dfrac{15}{48}

P(Green from BoxIII)=1216=34P\left(\text{Green from Box}III\right) = \dfrac{12}{16} = \dfrac{3}{4}

P(White from BoxIV)=632=316P\left(\text{White from Box}IV\right) = \dfrac{6}{32} = \dfrac{3}{16}

Suppose that Box-I contains 8 red, 3 blue and 5 green balls, Box-ll contains 24 red, 9 blue and 15 green balls, Box-III

Event AA : One of the chosen ball is white
B:B: At least one of the chosen ball is green

P(AB)=P(A∩B)P(B)P\left(\dfrac{A}{B}\right) = \dfrac{P\left(A \cap B\right)}{P\left(B\right)}

=516×31612×1548+316×34+516×1= \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{16} \times \dfrac{3}{16}}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{15}{48} + \dfrac{3}{16} \times \dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{5}{16} \times 1}

=552= \dfrac{5}{52}
