Suppose you have three bowls, X, Y , and Z with some number of red and blue balls. Bowl X has 2 red and 2 blue balls, bowl Y has 1 red and 3 blue balls, and bowl Z has 3 red and 1 blue ball. A bowl is chosen at random and a ball is drawn from it. What is the probability that the ball was drawn from bowl X given the ball was blue?
Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.

There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
1. Suppose that identical 100 balls are randomly distributed into 10 boxes. Given that the boxes 1 and 2 are empty find the probability that box 3 is not empty.
There are two bags A and B. Bag A contains n white balls and 2 black balls while bag B contains 2 white balls and n black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it without replacement. We know that if both the balls drawn are white balls, the probability of bag A being selected to draw the balls is . Find the value of n.
Urn 1 contains 4 red and 6 white balls. Urn 2 contains 3 red and 6white balls. A ball is drawn from urn 1 and placed in urn 2. Then a ball is drawn from urn 2. If the ball drawn from urn 2 is red, what is the probability that the ball drawn from urn 1 was red?
