The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will calculate the probability that a white ball drawn is from urn B, given the conditions of the problem. ### Step 1: Determine the probabilities of rolling each number on the die. Since the probability of rolling a number is directly proportional to that number, we can express the probabilities as follows: - Let \( P(X) \) be the probability of rolling \( X \) on the die. - \( P(1) = k \) - \( P(2) = 2k \) - \( P(3) = 3k \) - \( P(4) = 4k \) - \( P(5) = 5k \) - \( P(6) = 6k \) The total probability must equal 1: \[ k + 2k + 3k + 4k + 5k + 6k = 1 \] \[ 21k = 1 \implies k = \frac{1}{21} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the probabilities for each outcome. Using \( k = \frac{1}{21} \): - \( P(1) = \frac{1}{21} \) - \( P(2) = \frac{2}{21} \) - \( P(3) = \frac{3}{21} \) - \( P(4) = \frac{4}{21} \) - \( P(5) = \frac{5}{21} \) - \( P(6) = \frac{6}{21} \) ### Step 3: Identify the prime numbers on the die. The prime numbers from 1 to 6 are 2, 3, and 5. ### Step 4: Calculate the probability of rolling a prime number. \[ P(\text{Prime}) = P(2) + P(3) + P(5) = \frac{2}{21} + \frac{3}{21} + \frac{5}{21} = \frac{10}{21} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the probability of rolling a non-prime number. \[ P(\text{Non-prime}) = 1 - P(\text{Prime}) = 1 - \frac{10}{21} = \frac{11}{21} \] ### Step 6: Determine the probabilities of drawing a white ball from each urn. - **Urn A** (chosen if a prime number is rolled): Contains 2 white and 3 black balls. \[ P(\text{White} | A) = \frac{2}{5} \] - **Urn B** (chosen if a non-prime number is rolled): Contains 3 white and 2 black balls. \[ P(\text{White} | B) = \frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 7: Use Bayes' theorem to find the probability that the white ball is from urn B. We want to find \( P(B | \text{White}) \): \[ P(B | \text{White}) = \frac{P(\text{White} | B) \cdot P(B)}{P(\text{White})} \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( P(\text{White}) \). Using the law of total probability: \[ P(\text{White}) = P(\text{White} | A) \cdot P(A) + P(\text{White} | B) \cdot P(B) \] \[ = \left(\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{10}{21}\right) + \left(\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{11}{21}\right) \] \[ = \frac{20}{105} + \frac{33}{105} = \frac{53}{105} \] ### Step 9: Substitute back into Bayes' theorem. \[ P(B | \text{White}) = \frac{\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{11}{21}\right)}{\frac{53}{105}} \] \[ = \frac{\frac{33}{105}}{\frac{53}{105}} = \frac{33}{53} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the white ball drawn is from urn B is \( \frac{33}{53} \). ---
