A box has 5 blue and 4 red balls. One ball is drawn at random and replaced. Its colour is also not noted. Then, another ball is drawn at random. What is the probability of second ball being blue?

Call

A box = {5 blue, 4 red}
Let `E_(1)` is the event that first ball drawn is blue, `E_(2)` is the event that first ball drawn is red and E is the event that second ball drawn is blue.
`therefore P(E )=P(E_(1))cdotP(E//E_(1))+P(E_(2))cdotP(E//E_(2))`
`=5/9cdot4/8+4/9cdot5/8=20/72+20/72=40/72=5/9`

A abg contains 5 red and blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement, them the probability of getting exactly one red ball is

Probability of getting one red (R ) ball=`P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(baR)cdotP_(R)` `=5/8cdot3/72/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot2/7cdot5/6` `15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)` `=4/56+5/56+5/56=15/56`

Let `E_(1)`=Event that first ball being red and `E_(2)`= Event that exactly tw of the three balls being red `therefore P_(E_(1))=P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)`
