Answer:

 \frac{1}{15}, \frac{2}{5},\frac{8 }{15}

Hint:

Use baye’s theorem. 

Given:

 Suppose we have four boxes A, B, C, D.

One of box has been selected at random and single marble drawn if the marble is red what is the probability that it drawn box A, B, C, D.

Solution:

Let

R →  event that red marble

A →  event select box A

B →  event select box B

C →  event select box C

D →  event select box D

\begin{aligned} &P(A)=\text { probability of box A }=\frac{1}{4}\\ &P(B)=\text { probability of box B }=\frac{1}{4}\\ &P(C)=\text { probability of box C }=\frac{1}{4}\\ &P(D)=\text { probability of box D }=\frac{1}{4}\\ &P\left ( \frac{R}{A} \right )=\frac{1}{10}\\ &P\left ( \frac{R}{B} \right )=\frac{6}{10}\\ &P\left ( \frac{R}{C} \right )=\frac{8}{10}\\ &P\left ( \frac{R}{D} \right )=\frac{0}{10}\\ \end{aligned}

Using Baye’s theorem

\begin{aligned} &P\left (\frac{A}{R} \right )=\frac{P(A).P\left ( \frac{R}{A} \right )}{P(A)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{A} \right )+P(B)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{B} \right )+P(C)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{C} \right )+P(D)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{D} \right )}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{0}{10}}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}(6+1+8)}\\ &=\frac{1}{15} \end{aligned}

Using Baye’s theorem

\begin{aligned} &P\left (\frac{B}{R} \right )=\frac{P(B).P\left ( \frac{R}{B} \right )}{P(A)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{A} \right )+P(B)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{B} \right )+P(C)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{C} \right )+P(D)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{D} \right )}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{0}{10}}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}(6+1+8)}\\ &=\frac{16}{15}\\ &=\frac{2}{5} \end{aligned}

Using Baye’s theorem

\begin{aligned} &P\left (\frac{C}{R} \right )=\frac{P(C).P\left ( \frac{R}{C} \right )}{P(A)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{A} \right )+P(B)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{B} \right )+P(C)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{C} \right )+P(D)\times P\left ( \frac{R}{D} \right )}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{10}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{0}{10}}\\ &=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{10} }{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{10}(6+1+8)}\\ &=\frac{8}{15} \end{aligned}
