One of two urns is chosen at random with one as likely to be chosen as the other. Then a ball is withdrawn from the chosen urn. Urn 1 contains 4 white and 2 red balls, and urn 2 has 1 white and 5 red balls. If a red ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 1? The probability is (Type an integer or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)
