Let be 6 urns such that urn U_k contains balls, out of which 3k are white balls and are black balls, k = 1, 2, …, 6. An urn is selected with the probability of selecting urn U_k being proportional to (k + 3). A ball is chosen randomly from the selected urn. Then the probability that urn was selected, given that the ball drawn is white, is equal to
