Practicing Success
Two balls are drawn from an urn containing 2 white, 3 red and 4 black balls one by one without replacement. The probability that at least one ball is red, is |
$\frac{7}{12}$ $\frac{5}{12}$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{5}{8}$ |
$\frac{7}{12}$ |
Let A be the event of not getting a red ball in f draw and B be the event of not getting a red ball in sec ∴ Required probability = Probability that at least one ball is red =1-Probability that none is red = $1- P(A $ and $B)= 1 - P(A ∩ B)$ $= 1 - P(A) P(B/A) = 1- \frac{2}{3}× \frac{5}{8}=\frac{7}{12}$ |
