There are two identical boxes $A$ and $B.$ In box $A,$ there are two red balls and one white ball. In box $B,$ there are three red balls and two white balls. If you randomly chose one box and drew a white ball out of it, what is the probability that you chose box $A?$

When you roll two fair dice and the product $p$ of the values is four, what is the conditional probability distribution for the value $X$ of the first dice? Represent it in the form of $(P(X=1|p=4),P(X=2|p=4),\dots,P(X=6|p=4)) .$

{ ( \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{4}, 0, \frac{1}{4}, 0, \frac{1}{4} )}

{ ( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, 0, 0, 0 )}

{ ( \frac{1}{4}, 0, \frac{1}{4}, 0, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{4} )}

{ ( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, 0, \frac{1}{3}, 0, 0 )}

Justin is taking out balls one by one from a box which contains $6$ red balls and $5$ blue balls. After he takes out $3$ balls from the box, he checks their colors: $2$ red and $1$ blue. What is the probability that the first ball he took out was red?
