There are three bagsB1,B2andB3.The bagB1contains5red and5green balls,B2contains3red and5green balls, andB3contains5red and3green balls, BagsB1,B2andB3have probabilities310,310and410respectively of being chosen. A bag is selected at random and a ball is chosen at random from the bag. Then which of the following options is/are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, C
Solution:

Let us define following events
B1 : Event of selection of bag 1 ( 5 Red, 5 Green)
B2  : Event of selection of bag 2 ( 3 Red, 5 Green)
B3 : Event of selection of bag 3 ( 5 Red, 3 Green)
R= Event of selection of Red ball
G= Event of selection of Green ball
Option (C) :
PGB3=38 (as bag 3 has been selected now total balls in bag 3=8, green ball =3 )
Option (B) :
PG=PB1PGB1+PB2PGB2+PB3PGB3
=310×510+310×58+410×38
=3980
Option (D) :
PB3G=PB3GPG
=PB3PGB3P(G)
=410×383580 PG=3980
=413
Option (A) :
PB3G=PB3PGB3
PB3G=PB3PGB3
=320
