The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's define the events and calculate the required probability. ### Step 1: Define the Events - Let \( E \) be the event that the first bag is selected. - Let \( F \) be the event that the second bag is selected. - Let \( G \) be the event that a red ball is drawn. ### Step 2: Calculate the Probability of Selecting Each Bag There are 2 bags, and one is selected at random. Therefore: - \( P(E) = \frac{1}{2} \) (probability of selecting the first bag) - \( P(F) = \frac{1}{2} \) (probability of selecting the second bag) ### Step 3: Calculate the Probability of Drawing a Red Ball from the First Bag The first bag contains 3 red balls and 4 black balls, making a total of 7 balls. - The probability of drawing a red ball from the first bag is: \[ P(G | E) = \frac{\text{Number of red balls in the first bag}}{\text{Total number of balls in the first bag}} = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Step 4: Find the Conditional Probability \( P(G | E) \) We want to find \( P(G | E) \), which is already calculated in Step 3. Thus: \[ P(G | E) = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Answer The probability of drawing a red ball given that the first bag is selected is: \[ \boxed{\frac{3}{7}} \]
