A bag A contains 1 white and 6 red balls. Another bag contains 4 white and 3 red balls. One of the bags is selected at random, and a ball is drawn from it, which is found to be white. Find the probability that the ball is drawn is from bag A.

Let R : Red ball


W : White ball


A : Bag A


B : Bag B


Assuming, selecting bags is of equal probability i.e.


We want to find P(A|W), i.e. the selected white ball is from bag A





Conclusion: Therefore, the probability of selected white ball is from


bag A is
