Let `A_(i)` denote the event that the number I appears on the dice and let E denote the event that only white balls are drawn.
Then `P(A_(i))=1/6"for"i=1,2..,6`
`and P(E//A_(i))=(""^(6)C_(i))/(""^(10)C_(i)),i=,2,.., 6`
Using total probability theore, required probability,
`P(E) =underset(i=1)overset(6)(sum)P(EnnA_(i))`
`=underset(i=1)overset(6)(sum)P(A_(i))P(E//A_(i))`
`=1/6[6/10+15/45+20/120+15/210+6/252+1/210]=1/5`

A bag contains 3 white and 2 black balls and another bag contains 2 white and 4 black balls. One bag is chosen at random. From teh selected bag, one b

Bag I ={3B,2W],Bag II={2B,4W} Let `E_(1)`=Event that bag I is selected `E_(2)`=Event that bag II is selected and E=Event that a black ball is selected `rArrP(E_(1))=1//2,P(E_(2))=1/2,P(E//E_(1))=3/5,P(E//E_(2))=2/6=1/3` `thereforeP(E)=P(E_(1))cdotP(E//E_(1))+P(E_(2))cdotP(E//E_(2))` `1/2cdot3/5+1/2cdot2/6=3/10+2/12` `=(18+10)/60=28/60=7/15`

Let U={m white, n black balls} `E_(1)`={First ball drawn of white colour} `E_(2)`={First ball drawn of black colour} and `E_(3)`={Second ball of white colour} `therefore P(E_(1))=m/(m+n)and P(E_(2))=n/(m+n)` Also, `P(E_(3)//E_(1))=(m+k)/(m+n+k)and P(E_(3)//E_(2))=m/(m+n+k)`...

An urn contains three red balls and n white balls. Mr. A draws two balls together from the urn. The probability that they have the same color is `1//2

Correct Answer - D In the first case, the urn contains 3 red and n white balls. The probability that color of both the balls matches is `(""^(3)C_(2)+""^(n)C_(2))/(""^(n+3)C_(2))=1/2` `or(6+n(n-1))/((n+3)(n+2))=1/2` `or2(n^(2)-n+6)=n^(2)+5n+6` `orn^(2)-7n+6=0`...
