.

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: 2%2F5; two out of five chance.
