The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the situation and calculate the probability that a ball drawn from the second bag is white after transferring two balls from the first bag. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the contents of each bag:** - Bag 1: 4 white balls and 2 black balls (Total = 6 balls) - Bag 2: 5 white balls and 4 black balls (Total = 9 balls) 2. **Transfer two balls from Bag 1 to Bag 2:** We need to consider three possible cases for the transfer of the two balls: - Case 1: Transfer 2 black balls. - Case 2: Transfer 2 white balls. - Case 3: Transfer 1 white ball and 1 black ball. 3. **Calculate the probabilities for each case:** **Case 1: Transfer 2 black balls** - The number of ways to choose 2 black balls from 2 black balls: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{2}{2} = 1 \] - The total ways to choose any 2 balls from 6: \[ \text{Total ways} = \binom{6}{2} = 15 \] - Probability of transferring 2 black balls: \[ P(BB) = \frac{1}{15} \] - After transferring, Bag 2 will have: - White: 5 - Black: 6 (4 original + 2 transferred) - Probability of drawing a white ball from Bag 2: \[ P(\text{White} | BB) = \frac{5}{11} \] **Case 2: Transfer 2 white balls** - The number of ways to choose 2 white balls from 4 white balls: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{2} = 6 \] - Probability of transferring 2 white balls: \[ P(WW) = \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5} \] - After transferring, Bag 2 will have: - White: 7 (5 original + 2 transferred) - Black: 4 - Probability of drawing a white ball from Bag 2: \[ P(\text{White} | WW) = \frac{7}{11} \] **Case 3: Transfer 1 white ball and 1 black ball** - The number of ways to choose 1 white from 4 and 1 black from 2: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{1} \cdot \binom{2}{1} = 4 \cdot 2 = 8 \] - Probability of transferring 1 white and 1 black: \[ P(WB) = \frac{8}{15} \] - After transferring, Bag 2 will have: - White: 6 (5 original + 1 transferred) - Black: 5 (4 original + 1 transferred) - Probability of drawing a white ball from Bag 2: \[ P(\text{White} | WB) = \frac{6}{11} \] 4. **Combine the probabilities using the law of total probability:** \[ P(\text{White}) = P(\text{White} | BB) \cdot P(BB) + P(\text{White} | WW) \cdot P(WW) + P(\text{White} | WB) \cdot P(WB) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(\text{White}) = \left(\frac{5}{11} \cdot \frac{1}{15}\right) + \left(\frac{7}{11} \cdot \frac{2}{5}\right) + \left(\frac{6}{11} \cdot \frac{8}{15}\right) \] \[ = \frac{5}{165} + \frac{14}{55} + \frac{48}{165} \] Convert \(\frac{14}{55}\) to a common denominator: \[ \frac{14}{55} = \frac{42}{165} \] Now combine: \[ P(\text{White}) = \frac{5 + 42 + 48}{165} = \frac{95}{165} = \frac{19}{33} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the ball drawn from the second bag is white is \(\frac{19}{33}\).
