Box I contains 30 cards numbered 1 to 30 and Box II contains 20 cards numbered 31 to 50. A box is selected at random and a card is drawn from it. The number on the card is found to be a non-prime number. The probability that the card was drawn from Box I is:
Box I contains 30 cards numbered 1 to 30 and Box II contains 20 cards numbered 31 to 50. A box is selected at random and a card is drawn from it. The number on the card is found to be a non-prime number. The probability that the card was drawn from Box I is:
Let B? be the event where Box-I is selected and B? →where box-II selected
P (B? )=P (B? )=1/2
Let E be the event where selected card is non prime.
For B? : Prime numbers: {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}
For B? : Prime numbers: {31,37,41,43,47}
P (E)=P (B? )*P (E/B? )+P (B? )P (E/B? )
= 1/2*20/30+1/2*15/20
