(B) Let $R$ be the event that a red ball is drawn. The contents of the boxes are:$B_1: 1R, 2W \implies P(R|B_1) = \frac{1}{3}$$B_2: 2R, 3W \implies P(R|B_2) = \frac{2}{5}$$B_3: 3R, 4W \implies P(R|B_3) = \frac{3}{7}$Given $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,$P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$.Using Bayes' Theorem,the probability that the ball came from $B_2$ given it is red is:$P(B_2|R) = \frac{P(B_2)P(R|B_2)}{P(B_1)P(R|B_1) + P(B_2)P(R|B_2) + P(B_3)P(R|B_3)}$$P(B_2|R) = \frac{\frac{1}{3} 	imes \frac{2}{5}}{\frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} 	imes \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{6} 	imes \frac{3}{7}}$$P(B_2|R) = \frac{\frac{2}{15}}{\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{15} + \frac{1}{14}}$Finding the common denominator for the denominator: $LCM(6, 15, 14) = 210$.$P(B_2|R) = \frac{\frac{2}{15}}{\frac{35 + 28 + 15}{210}} = \frac{2}{15} 	imes \frac{210}{78} = \frac{2 	imes 14}{78} = \frac{28}{78} = \frac{14}{39}$.

$X = x$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$	$6$	$7$	$8$
$P(X = x)$	$0.15$	$0.23$	$K$	$0.10$	$0.20$	$0.08$	$0.07$	$0.05$

For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it has come from box $B_2$ is:
