Each of urns I and II has 5 red balls, 3 white balls, and 2 green balls. Urn III has 1 red ball, 1 white ball, and 8 green balls. An urn is selected at random and a ball is drawn. If the ball is green, find the probability that urn III was selected. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) Use a probability tree to find the probability. (b) Use Bayes' formula to find the probability.
