Please correct me if my way of thinking is completely wrong.
Box 1 = 30 Purple + 20 Red
Box 1 = 15 Purple + 35 Red
Combined = 45 Purple + 55 Red
Question ask for the possibility of drawing a purple ball, which must be just under 50% therefore 9/20
Hope ithelps
That's a-okay in this case. Would it work if the probability of choosing box 1 is 40% and the probability of choosing box 2 is 60%? What adjustment would you need to make to your approach in that case?
