Answer:0.636

Explanation:

Given

Urn A contains 2 W, 4 R

Urn B contains 8 W, 4 R

Urn C contains 1 W,  3 R

Probability of selecting 3 balls out of which 2 are white

P(J)=P(WWR)+P(WRW)+P(RWW)

P(J)=\frac{2}{6}\cdot \frac{8}{12}\cdot \frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{6}\cdot \frac{4}{12}\cdot \frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}\cdot \frac{8}{12}\cdot \frac{1}{4}=\frac{88}{288}

Probability that the ball chosen from Urn A was white given that exactly 2 white balls  were selected

i.e.

P(A/J)=\frac{P\left ( A\cap J\right )}{P\left ( J\right )}

P(A/J)=\frac{\frac{56}{288}}{\frac{88}{288}}=0.636

jeyben [28]

1. True

Existentialism refers to the philosophy that associated with the principles that all human beings should be free to control their thought, will, and actions. Modernist writers believe that only such freedoms could enable people to fully expressed their idea and creativity to fully influence needed changes in our personal life and society where we live in.

2. False

the prefix ambi- means both ways.

For example, extrovert refers to the people who prefers to interact with a lot of people (such as partying, becoming center of attention, etc). Introverts refers to the people who prefers to spend their time alone (reading books or experimenting)

Ambiverts refers the people who can be extroverts or introverts at time.

3. True

For example, pay attention to these two sentences.

- Timothy<em> take</em> Cheryl to the wedding.   (1.)

- Timothy <em>was taken </em>by Cheryl to the wedding. (2)/principle

In the first sentence, the word  'take' act as a verb and can be interpreted as  Timothy who is the one that take Cheryl to the wedding.

In second sentence, the word 'take' act as an adjective, and can be interpreted as Cheryl who is the one that take Timothy to the wedding.
