Find the chance of drawing 2 white balls...

Find the chance of drawing 2 white balls in succession from a bag containing 5 red and 7 white balls, the ball first drawn not being replaced.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A=shows in the first draw A white ball

B=shows in the second draw A white ball

`P(A)=frac{7}{12}`

`P(B / A)=frac{6}{11}`

`P(A cap B)=P(A) times P(B / A)=frac{7}{12} times frac{6}{11}=frac{7}{22}`
