A bag contains 4 white and 5 red marbles. Two marbles are drawn one after the 1 other without changing. Find the probability of getting both as white marbles. |

Answer» n = (4W + 5 R) = 9 ways to draw one ball from 9 balls Let probability of drawing white and red marbles be P(W) and P(R) P(drawing 2 white marbles one after the other) = P (2W) = P (white marble in I draw) and P (drawing white marble in II draw) P(WI ∩ WII) = P (WI) P (WII/ WI) P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B/A) = 4/9 x 3/8 = 12/72 = 1/6 Here, first drawn ball is not replaced. |
