An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white, it is not replaced into the urn. Otherwise it is replaced with another ball of the same colour. The process is repeated. Find the probability that the third ball drawn is black.


There are following four possible ways of drawing first two balls.
(i) Both the first and the second balls drawn are white.
(ii) The first ball drawn is white and the second ball drawn is black.
(iii) The first ball is black and the second ball drawn is white.
(iv) Both the first and the second balls drawn are black.
Let us define events (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) by E1, E2, E3 and E4 respectively.
Also let E denotes the event that the third ball drawn is black.
Then, P (E1) = 2/4 x 1/3 = 1/6
P (E2) = 2/4 x 2/3 = 1/3
P (E3) = 2/4 x 2/5 = 1/5
P (E4­) = 2/4 x 3/5 = 3/10
Also P (E/E1) = 1, since when the event E, has already happened i.e. the first two balls drawn are both white, they are not replaced and so there are left 2 black balls in the urn so that the probability that the third ball drawn in this case is black = 2/2 = 1.
Again P (E/E2) = 3/4, since when the event E2 has already happened there are 3 black and one white balls in the urn. So in this case the probability that the third ball drawn is black = 3/4.
Similarly, P (E/E3) = 3/4 and P (E| E4) = 2/3
Now by theorem of total probability for compound events, we have
P (E) = P (E1) P (E/E1) + P (E2) P (E/E2) + P (E3) P (E/E3) + P (E4) P (E/E4)
= 1/6 x 1 + 1/3 x 3/4 + 1/5 x 3/4 + 3/10 x 2/3 = 1/6 + 1/4 + 3/20 + 1/5 = 23/30

(i) Exactly two perons

(ii) At least two persons hit the target

(iii) None hit the target
