उत्तर

Let Y1 ≡ the event that yellow ball is drawn from first bag

B1 ≡ the event that brown ball is drawn from first bag

Y2 ≡ the event that yellow ball is drawn from second bag

B2 ≡ the event that brown ball is drawn from second bag

∴ P(Y1) = `3/8`, P(B1) = `5/8`

P(Y2) = `4/10`, P(B2) = `6/10`

Let A = event that both balls are of same colour i.e., both are yellow or both are brown.

∴ A = (Y1 ∩ Y2) ∪ (B1 ∩ B2)

Since events in the brackets are mutually exclusive

∴ P(A) = P(Y1 ∩ Y2) + P(B1 ∩ B2)

= P(Y1)·P(Y2) + P(B1)·P(B2)   ...[events are independent]

= `3/8*4/10 + 5/8*6/10`

= `42/80`

= `21/40`.

A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.

Solution: Let,

A : First ball drawn is white

B : second ball drawn in white.

P(A) = `square/square`

After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining `square` balls.

∴ P(B/A) = `square/square`

∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)

`= "P"(square) * "P"(square)`

`= square * square`

= `square`
