To solve the problem step by step, we will use Bayes' theorem to find the probability that the red ball drawn came from the first urn. ### Step 1: Define the events Let: - \( U_1 \): the event that the ball is drawn from urn 1. - \( U_2 \): the event that the ball is drawn from urn 2. - \( U_3 \): the event that the ball is drawn from urn 3. - \( R \): the event that the ball drawn is red. ...
