Example 33 Coloured balls are distributed in four boxes as shown in the following table: Box Colour Black White Red Blue I 3 4 5 6 II 2 2 2 2 III 1 2 3 1 IV 4 3 1 5 A box is selected at random and then a ball is randomly drawn from the selected box. The colour of the ball is black, what is the probability that ball drawn is from the box III? Let A : Event that a black ball is selected E1 : Event that the ball is selected from box I E2 : Event that the ball is selected from box II E3 : Event that the ball is selected from box III E4 : Event that the ball is selected from box IV We need to find out the Probability of the ball drawn is from box III if it is black. i.e. P(E3|A) "P(E3|A)"=(๐(๐ธ3).๐(๐ด|๐ธ3))/(๐(๐ธ1)๐(๐ด|๐ธ1)+๐(๐ธ2)๐(๐ด|๐ธ2)+๐(๐ธ3)๐(๐ด|๐ธ3)+๐(๐ธ4)๐(๐ด|๐ธ4)) P(E1) = Probability that ball drawn is from box I = 1/4 P(A|E1) = Probability of that black ball is selected from Box I = (๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ )/(๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ) = 3/18 P(E3) = Probability that ball drawn is from box III = 1/4 P(A|E3) = Probability of that black ball is selected from Box II = (๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ )/(๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ) = 1/7 P(E2) = Probability that ball drawn is from box II = 1/4 P(A|E2) = Probability of that black ball is selected from Box II =(๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ )/(๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ) = 2/8 = 1/4 P(E4) = Probability that ball drawn is from box IV = 1/4 P(A|E4) = Probability of that black ball is selected from Box IV = (๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ )/(๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ) = 4/13 Putting values in Equation "P(E3|A)"=(๐(๐ธ3).๐(๐ด|๐ธ3))/(๐(๐ธ1)๐(๐ด|๐ธ1)+๐(๐ธ2)๐(๐ด|๐ธ2)+๐(๐ธ3)๐(๐ด|๐ธ3)+๐(๐ธ4)๐(๐ด|๐ธ4)) = (1/4 ร 1/7)/( 1/4 ร 3/8 + 1/4 ร 1/4 + 1/4 ร 1/7 + 1/4 ร 4/13 ) = (1/28)/( 1/24 + 1/16 + 1/28 + 1/13 ) = (1/28)/( (1/(4 ร 6) + 1/(4 ร 4) + 1/(4 ร 7)) + 1/13) = (1/28)/( ((4 ร 7 + 6 ร 7 + 6 ร 4)/(4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7)) + 1/13) = (1/28)/((28 + 42 + 24)/(4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7) + 1/13) = (1/28)/(94/(4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7) + 1/13) = (1/28)/((94 ร 13 + 4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7)/(13 ร 4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7) ) = 1/((94 ร 13 + 4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7)/(13 ร 4 ร 6) ) = (13 ร 4 ร 6)/( 94 ร 13 + 4 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7) = (13 ร 2 ร 6)/( 47 ร 13 + 2 ร 6 ร 4 ร 7) = 156/(611 + 336) = 156/947 = 0.164
