A bag initially contains 1 red and 2 blue balls. An experiment consisting of selecting a ball at random, noting its color and replacing it together with an additional ball of the same colour. If three such trials are made, then

A

probability that at least one blue balls is drawn is `0.9`

B

probability that exactly one blue all is drawn is `0.2`

C

probability that all the drawn balls are red given that all the drawn balls are of same color is `0.2`

D

probability that at least one red ball is drawn is `0.6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

(1) `P(E_(1))=1-P(R R R)=1-[(1)/(3)xx(2)/(4)xx(3)/(5)]=0.9`
(2) `P(E_(2))=3P(B R R)=3xx(3)/(2)xx(1)/(4)xx(2)/(5)=0.2`
(3) `P(E_(3))=P(R R R //(R R RuuBBB))`
`=(0.1)/(0.1+2/3xx3/4xx4/5)`
`=(0.1)/(0.1+0.4)=0.2`
(4) `P(E_(4))=1-P(BBB)=1-2/5=0.6`
