The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from bag B after transferring a ball from bag A. ### Step 1: Identify the contents of the bags - Bag A contains 4 red balls and 5 black balls. - Bag B contains 6 red balls and 3 black balls. ### Step 2: Calculate the total number of balls in each bag - Total balls in Bag A = 4 (red) + 5 (black) = 9 balls - Total balls in Bag B = 6 (red) + 3 (black) = 9 balls ### Step 3: Define events Let: - Event E1: A red ball is transferred from Bag A to Bag B. - Event E2: A black ball is transferred from Bag A to Bag B. ### Step 4: Calculate the probabilities of transferring a ball from Bag A - Probability of transferring a red ball (E1): \[ P(E1) = \frac{4}{9} \] - Probability of transferring a black ball (E2): \[ P(E2) = \frac{5}{9} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from Bag B after transferring a ball 1. **If a red ball is transferred (Event E1)**: - Bag B now has 7 red balls (6 original + 1 transferred) and 3 black balls. - Total balls in Bag B = 7 (red) + 3 (black) = 10 balls. - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag B: \[ P(\text{Red} | E1) = \frac{7}{10} \] 2. **If a black ball is transferred (Event E2)**: - Bag B still has 6 red balls and now has 4 black balls (3 original + 1 transferred). - Total balls in Bag B = 6 (red) + 4 (black) = 10 balls. - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag B: \[ P(\text{Red} | E2) = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 6: Use the law of total probability to find the overall probability of drawing a red ball from Bag B \[ P(\text{Red}) = P(E1) \cdot P(\text{Red} | E1) + P(E2) \cdot P(\text{Red} | E2) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(\text{Red}) = \left(\frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{7}{10}\right) + \left(\frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{3}{5}\right) \] ### Step 7: Calculate each term 1. First term: \[ \frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{7}{10} = \frac{28}{90} \] 2. Second term: \[ \frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{3}{5} = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{30}{90} \] ### Step 8: Combine the results \[ P(\text{Red}) = \frac{28}{90} + \frac{30}{90} = \frac{58}{90} = \frac{29}{45} \] ### Final Answer The probability that the ball drawn from Bag B is red is: \[ \frac{29}{45} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from bag B after transferring a ball from bag A. ### Step 1: Identify the contents of the bags - Bag A contains 4 red balls and 5 black balls. - Bag B contains 6 red balls and 3 black balls. ### Step 2: Calculate the total number of balls in each bag - Total balls in Bag A = 4 (red) + 5 (black) = 9 balls ...
