A bag contains 8 marbles of which 3 are blue and 5 are red. One marble is drawn at random, its colour is noted and the marble is replaced in the bag. A marble is again drawn from the bag and its colour is noted. Find the probability that the marbles will be
(i) blue followed by red (ii) blue and red in any order (iii) of the same colour.
A bag contains 4 white balls and 2 black balls. Another bag contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag, find the probability that both are black.
Total number of balls = 25
∴ total number of cases = 25
Let E denote the event of drawing even numbered ball and O denote the event of drawing odd numbered ball.
Number of balls numbered odd = 13
Number of balls numbered even = 12
Since the balls are replaced back before the next draw
