pr.probability - Porbability of selecting balls from boxes

Well, this looks more like someone trying to get their homework done, but for the first part:



p=0.2frac33+7+0.2frac55+5+0.6frac22+8



p=0.06+0.10+0.12



p=0.28



Showed the work for you too.



So if the probability that a chosen ball is red is 28%, then the probability that a chosen ball is green is 72%.



So what is {probability that chosen ball came from B3 | chosen ball is green}? Look up conditional probability, look up bayesian, etc.



pg=0.2frac73+7+0.2frac55+5+0.6frac82+8



pg=0.14+0.10+0.48



pg=0.72



{ pg3 | green ball} = (picked from box 3 and green) / (picked green)



= 0.48 / 0.72



= 2 /3



Please do your homework yourself.
