A ball is chosen at random from a bag containing 150 balls that are either red or blue and either dull or shiny. There are 36 red shiny balls and 54 blue balls. What is the probability of the chosen ball being shiny conditional on it being red

Answer:

The probability of the chosen ball being shiny conditional on it being red is; 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that a red ball has been chosen

Let B be the event that a shiny ball has been chosen

Let S be the total outcomes = 150 balls

Thus;

P(A ∩ B ) = 36/150

A ∩ B' = 150 - 36 - 54

A ∩ B' = 60

Thus; P(A ∩ B') = 60/150

P(A') = 54/150

P(A) = (150 - 54)/150 = 96/150

Thus, probability of the chosen ball being shiny conditional on it being red is;

P(B | A) = P(B ∩ A)/P(A)

Thus; P(B | A) = (36/150)/(96/150)

P(B | A) = 0.375
