उत्तर
Total number of balls = 10 + 15 = 25
Let S be event that two balls are drawn at random without replacement in succession
∴ n(S) = `""^25"C"_1xx""^24"C"_1` = 25 × 24
Let B be the event that one ball is white and other is black.
In this case, either 1st ball drawn is white and 2nd is black or 1st is black and 2nd is white.
First white ball can be drawn from 10 white balls in 10C1 ways and second black ball can be drawn from 15 black balls in 15C1 ways.
Similarly, first black ball from 15 black balls can be drawn in 15C1 ways and second white ball from 10 white balls can be drawn in 10C1 ways.
∴ n(B) = `""^10"C"_1""^15"C"_1+""^15"C"_1 ""^10"C"_1`
∴ P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S"))=(10xx15)/(25xx24)+(15xx10)/(25xx24)`
= `150/(25xx24)+150/(25xx24)`
= `300/(25xx24)`
= `1/2`

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.
