A bag X contains 4 white balls and 2 black balls, while another bag Y contains 3 white balls and 3 black balls. Two balls are drawn (without replacement) at random from one of the bags and were found to be one white and one black. Find the probability that the balls were drawn from bag Y.

उत्तर
Bag X = 4 white, 2 black.
Bag Y = 3 white, 3 black
Let A be the event of selecting one white and one black ball.
E1 first bag selected
E2 second bag selected
`P(E_1)=1/2 P(E_2)=1/2`
`P(A/E_1)=4/6xx2/5+2/6xx4/5=16/30`
`P(AE_2)=3/6xx3/5+3/6xx3/6xx3/5=18/30`
`P(E_2"/"A)=(P(E_2)P(A"/"E_2))/(P(E_1)P(A"/"E_1)+P(E_2)P(A"/"E_2)`
`P(E_2"/"A)= (1/2xx18/30)/(1/2xx16/30+1/2xx18/30)`
`=18/(16+18)`
=`18/34`
=`9/17`

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls.

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.

- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
