We have two bins. The first bin has 6 blue marbles and 4 yellow marbles. The second
bin has 3 blue marbles and 4 yellow marbles. We choose a bin at random and then
draw a marble from that bin.
If the marble we select is yellow, what is the probability that we chose the first bin?
We have to compute the conditional probability
P (First yellow):
P(First yellow)
P(yellow)
= P (First yellow)/P (Fisrt n yellow) + P (Second yellow)
= a/b+c
= d
Then the values a =
and d
=
(Type your answers in the form of n/m)
b
