- (1/2*3/5*3/8) + (1/2*2/5*6/8) =21/80

- let A is the probability of select red marble from first ern,
B is the '' '' '' '' '' '' second ern,
probability to select one ern will be=1/2
so whole probability will be=A(~B)+B(~A)=(1/2*2/5*3/8)+(1/2*2/7*4/6)=9/80+2/21
so probability will be=.21,
also if we do for white probability will be same

- Let Red coloured ball is selected from both.
3/5 from A placed into B,
Similarly, 2/7 from B placed to A
Now,Let White coloured ball is selected from both.
2/5 from A to B
Similarly, 5/7 from B to A.
So, P(RR) + P(WW)
=> (3/5) +*(2/7) + (2/5)*(5/7)
=> 16/35.ans.. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
