suppose that there are two boxes, labeled odd and even. The odd box contains three balls numbered 1,3,5. the even box contains two balls labeled 2,4. one of the boxes is picked at random by tossing a fair coin. then a ball is picked at random from this box. what is the probability that the ball drawn is ball 3?
