Hi all, I have a problem with probabilities but I can't solve it.
The problem is :
"I have 3 folders. A folder of them has a letter while the others are empty.
The probablity to find the letter in the folder, if we touch the top of the folder is p_j , if there is letter in this folder.
We check folder 1 and we did not touch the letter.
Which is the possibility the letter to be inside the folder 1 ??"

I don't understand,  the possibility is 1/3 again I think.

Could you help me please ??

thanks a lot
