The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of selecting the second bag (event F). Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of bags There are two bags: - Bag 1: Contains 3 red balls and 4 black balls. - Bag 2: Contains 4 red balls and 2 black balls. ### Step 2: Determine the probability of selecting each bag Since one bag is selected at random from the two available bags, the probability of selecting either bag is equal. ### Step 3: Calculate the probability of selecting the second bag (event F) The probability of selecting the second bag (F) can be calculated as follows: - P(F) = Number of favorable outcomes for selecting the second bag / Total number of outcomes Here, there is 1 favorable outcome (selecting the second bag) and 2 total outcomes (selecting either bag 1 or bag 2). Thus, we have: \[ P(F) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Answer The probability of selecting the second bag (event F) is: \[ P(F) = \frac{1}{2} \] ---
