If from each of the three boxes containing 3 white and 1 black, 2 white and 2
black, 1 white and 3 black balls, one ball is drawn at random, then the probability
that 2 white and 1 black balls will be drawn is:
Statement I : If $A\subset B$ then B can be expressed as $B=A\cup(\overline{A}\cap B)$ and
P(A) > P(B).
Statement II : If A and B are independent events, then ($A$ and $\overline{B}$), ($\overline{A}$ and $B$)
and ($\overline{A}$ and $\overline{B}$) are also independent
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below:
Bag A contains 3 Red and 4 Black balls while Bag B contains 5 Red and 6 Black balls. One ball is drawn at random from
one of the bags and is found to be red. Then, the probability that it was drawn from Bag B is
Step 1: Define events.
Let:
• A = ball drawn from Bag A
• B = ball drawn from Bag B
• R = ball drawn is Red
Since a bag is chosen at random:
$$P(A) = P(B) = \tfrac{1}{2}$$
Step 2: Probability of Red from each bag.
• From Bag A:
$$P(R|A) = \tfrac{3}{3+4} = \tfrac{3}{7}$$
• From Bag B:
$$P(R|B) = \tfrac{5}{5+6} = \tfrac{5}{11}$$
Step 3: Total probability of Red.
$$P(R) = P(A)P(R|A) + P(B)P(R|B)$$
$$= \tfrac{1}{2}\cdot\tfrac{3}{7} + \tfrac{1}{2}\cdot\tfrac{5}{11}$$
$$= \tfrac{3}{14} + \tfrac{5}{22}$$
$$= \tfrac{33}{154} + \tfrac{35}{154} = \tfrac{68}{154} = \tfrac{34}{77}$$
Consider n events ${{E}}_1,{{E}}_2\ldots{{E}}_n$ with respective probabilities ${{p}}_1,{{p}}_2\ldots{{p}}_n$. If $P\Bigg{(}{{E}}_1,{{E}}_2\ldots{{E}}_n\Bigg{)}=\prod ^n_{i=1}{{p}}_i$, then
