E1:A\mathrm{E}_1: \mathrm{A} is selected

E2:B\mathrm{E}_2: \mathrm{B} is selected

E\mathrm{E} : white ball is drawn

P(E1/E)=\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{E}_1 / \mathrm{E}\right)=

amp;P(E)⋅P(E/E1)P(E1)⋅P(E/E1)+P(E2)⋅P(E/E2)=12×31012×310+12×35amp;=33+6=13\begin{aligned}& \frac{P(E) \cdot P\left(E / E_1\right)}{P\left(E_1\right) \cdot P\left(E / E_1\right)+P\left(E_2\right) \cdot P\left(E / E_2\right)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{10}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{5}} \\& =\frac{3}{3+6}=\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}
