A bag contains `n` white and `n` red balls. Pairs of balls are drawn without replacement until the bag is empty. Show that the probability that each pair consists of one white and one red ball is `(2^n)/(^(2n)C_n)`
A. `1//^(2n)C_(n)`
B. `2n//^(2n)C_(n)`
C. `2n//n!`
D. `2n//(2n!)`

Correct Answer - B
The required probability is
`(n^(2))/(""^(2n)C_(2))((n-1)^(2))/(""^(2n-2)C_(2))((n-2)^(2))/(""^(2n-4)C_(2))...(2^(2))/(""^(4)C_(2))(1^(2))/(""^(2)C_(2))`
`=((1xx2xx3xx4xx...xx(n-1)n)^(2))/(((2n)!)/2^(n))=(2^(n)(n!)^(2))/((2n)!)=(2^(n))/(""^(2n)C_(n))`

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`

A bag containing 5 red and 3 blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement the probability that exactly two of the three balls were r

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)`
