Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls. Find the probability that both balls are red- |
16/81 17/81 19/81 21/81 |
16/81 |
Total number of balls = 18 number of red balls = 8 number of black balls = 10 Probability of getting a red ball in the first draw = 8/18 = 4/9 The ball is replaced after the first draw. So, the probability of getting a red ball in second draw = 8/18 = 4/9 Therefore, the probability of getting both the balls red = (4/9) x (4/9) = 16/81 |
