The chances of defective screws in three boxes A, B, C are 15, 16, 17 respectively. A box 5 6 7 is selected at random and a screw drawn from it at random is found to be defective. Then, the probability that it came from box A, is

  • 1629

  • 115

  • 2759

  • 42107


D.

42107

Let E1, E2 and E3 denote the events of selecting boxes A, B, C respectively and A be the event that a screw selected at random is defective.

Then,

    PE1 = 13, PE2 = 13, PE3 = 13PAE1 = 15, PAE2 = 16, PAE3 = 17

Now, by Baye's rule, the required probability

      PE1A = PE1PAE1PE1PAE1 + PE2PAE2 + PE3PAE3 PE1A = 13 . 1513 . 15 + 13 . 16 + 13 . 17                   = 1515 + 16 + 17                  = 42107
