Question

Robin Hood has captured three purses of money. The first purse holds two silver pieces and the third purse holds one silver piece and one gold piece. You randomly choose a purse and pull out the coin. It is a silver piece - what is the probability that the other coin in the bag is also silver?

2/3
1/2
1/3
1/1

Answer 1

1/3 the other bag has

Answer 2

Probability that the other coin is silver means the purse should contain 2 silver coins ( since 1 already silver)
Hence, this means it refers to the first purse which has 2 silver coins
So probability = 1/3 ( 1 purse from the 3 purses)
