An urn contains 3 white, 4 red and 5 black balls. Two balls re drawn one by one without replacement. What is the probability that at least one ball is black?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A= in first draw A white or red ball comes up

B= in second draw A white or red ball comes up

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

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

`therefore P(A cap B)=P(A) times P(B / A) `

`=frac{7}{12} times frac{6}{11} `

`=frac{7}{22} `
