Suppose Box 1 contains 10 apples and 5 oranges, and Box 2 contains 7 apples and 5 oranges.
One of the boxes is chosen at random (with equal probability) and an item is selected from the
box and found to be an apple.
Find the probability that the apple came from Box 1.
Solution
P = (10/15)/(10/15+7/12) P = 8/15
