To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that a white ball drawn was from the second urn, given that a white ball was drawn. We can use Bayes' theorem for this. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Urns and Their Contents:** - Urn 1: 2 white and 3 black balls - Urn 2: 3 white and 2 black balls - Urn 3: 4 white and 1 black ball ...
