Hi
A dice is tossed and if the outcomes is number 1 or 6, a ball is selected randomly from box A highlight_green%281%2F3%29of the time
otherwise a ball is selected randomly from box B highlight_green%282%2F3%29of the time
Box A contained 6%29balls: 4 blue and 2 white
box B contained %286%29balls: 2 blue, 3 white and 1 green ball
a) P(a blue ball is selected from box A) = %281%2F3%29%282%2F3%29
b) P(a white ball is selected from box B) = %282%2F3%29%281%2F2%29
c) P(a white ball is selected from box A or box B) = %281%2F3%29%281%2F3%29 +%282%2F3%29%281%2F2%29
