To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing only white balls from the urn after rolling a fair die. ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have an urn containing 6 white balls and 4 black balls, making a total of 10 balls. A fair die is rolled, and the number that appears on the die (denote it as \( i \)) indicates how many balls will be drawn from the urn. ### Step 2: Define events Let: - \( X_i \): The event that the die shows the number \( i \) (where \( i \) can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). ...
