Urn 1 contains 3 red balls and 2 black balls. Urn 2 contains 2 red balls and 2 black balls.
Urn 3 contains 6 red balls and 2 black balls. If an urn is selected at random and a ball is drawn,
find the probability that it will be red.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The probability is for choosing urn #1.
The probability is to select red ball from urn #1.
The probability is for choosing urn #2.
The probability is = to select red ball from urn #2.
The probability is for choosing urn #3.
The probability is = to select red ball from urn #3.
The probability under the problem's question is
P = = = = = . ANSWER
