.

After reading the post, it is still unclear to me : what is the right bottle ?

The second question is this: when you ask about probability, you must exactly and precisely describe the experiment.

In your post, I do not see such a description.

Therefore, I really do not understand, what this post is about ?

Pulling just one bottle, or pull more than one?

If picking only one bottle randomly,
3 bottles are white.
2 bottles are RED.
5 bottles to pick from.

Wife uses a red bottle.
Chance of picking a red bottle: ; two out of five chance.
