Let U1 and U2 be two urns such that U1 contains 3 white and 2 red balls, and U2 contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears then 1 ball is drawn at random from U1 and put into U2. However, if tail appears then 2 balls are drawn at random from U1 and put into U2. Now 1 ball is drawn at random from U2. Given that the drawn ball from U2 is white, the probability that head appeared on the coin is

Let U_(1) and U_(2) be two urns such that U_(1) contains 3 white and 2 red balls, and U_(2) contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears, than 1 ball is drawn at random for Us_(1) and put into U_(2), However, if tail appears, then 2 balls are drawn at random from U_(1) and put into U_(2). Now 1 ball is drawn at random from U_(2) The probability of the drawn ball from U_(2) being white is
