If the ball is Red, the probability that it is from bag I is p and if the balls is Green, the probability that it is from bag III is q , then the value of ( 1 p + 1 q ) is :
Options
- A6
- B9
- C7
- D8
Correct answer
C. 7
Step-by-step solution
p = P ( B _ I R )= 1 3 ( 3 10 ) 1 3 ( 3 10 + 4 10 + 5 10 ) = 1 4 aligned & q = ( B _ III G )= 1 3 ( 4 10 ) 1 3 ( 5 10 + 3 10 + 4 10 ) = 1 3 & 1 p + 1 q =7 aligned
