I have a bag containing 4 cards, and each card is either black or white, but you do not know the exact composition of the bag. Assume that from your point of view, it is initially equally likely that the bag contains 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 white cards. I let you draw a single card from the bag at random and you find that the card is white. How many of the cards in the bag are white on the basis of this single observation?
