Box I contains 3 black and 4 white balls (7 total).
Box II contains 2 black and 2 white balls (4 total).
Box III contains 4 black and 3 white balls (7 total).
A box is selected at random, so each box has probability 31 of being selected.
The probability of drawing a black ball from each box:
From Box I: P(Black | Box I)=73
From Box II: P(Black | Box II)=42=21
From Box III: P(Black | Box III)=74
The total probability of drawing a black ball:
P(Black)=P(Box I)×P(Black | Box I)+P(Box II)×P(Black | Box II)+P(Box III)×P(Black | Box III)
P(Black)=31×73+31×21+31×74
P(Black)=213+61+214
Converting to common denominator 42:
P(Black)=426+427+428
P(Black)=4221
P(Black)=21
Using Bayes' theorem to find the probability that the black ball came from Box III:
P(Box III | Black)=P(Black)P(Box III and Black)
P(Box III and Black)=P(Box III)×P(Black | Box III)
P(Box III and Black)=31×74
P(Box III and Black)=214
Therefore:
P(Box III | Black)=21214
P(Box III | Black)=214×12
P(Box III | Black)=218
