The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the probability that in the next two drawn balls, exactly one white ball is drawn after having drawn 6 balls from a bag containing 12 red balls and 6 white balls, with the condition that at least 4 of those drawn balls are white. ### Step 1: Define the events Let: - \( A \): The event that exactly 4 white balls are drawn in the first 6 draws. - \( B \): The event that exactly 5 white balls are drawn in the first 6 draws. - \( C \): The event that all 6 drawn balls are white. We need to find \( P(E) \), where \( E \) is the event that exactly 1 white ball is drawn in the next 2 draws. ### Step 2: Calculate \( P(E | A) \) If event \( A \) occurs (4 white balls drawn), then: - 2 red balls must have been drawn. - The remaining balls in the bag will be 10 red and 2 white. The probability of drawing exactly 1 white ball in the next 2 draws can be calculated as follows: - The number of ways to choose 1 white ball from 2 and 1 red ball from 10: \[ P(E | A) = \frac{2C1 \cdot 10C1}{12C2} = \frac{2 \cdot 10}{66} = \frac{20}{66} = \frac{10}{33} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( P(E | B) \) If event \( B \) occurs (5 white balls drawn), then: - 1 red ball must have been drawn. - The remaining balls in the bag will be 11 red and 1 white. The probability of drawing exactly 1 white ball in the next 2 draws: - The number of ways to choose 1 white ball from 1 and 1 red ball from 11: \[ P(E | B) = \frac{1C1 \cdot 11C1}{12C2} = \frac{1 \cdot 11}{66} = \frac{11}{66} = \frac{1}{6} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( P(E | C) \) If event \( C \) occurs (6 white balls drawn), then: - There are no red balls left in the bag. - The probability of drawing exactly 1 white ball in the next 2 draws is: \[ P(E | C) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( P(A) \), \( P(B) \), and \( P(C) \) Using combinations: - Total ways to choose 6 balls from 18: \[ P(A) = \frac{12C2 \cdot 6C4}{18C6} \] - For \( B \): \[ P(B) = \frac{12C1 \cdot 6C5}{18C6} \] - For \( C \): \[ P(C) = \frac{6C6}{18C6} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Apply the law of total probability Now, we can find \( P(E) \): \[ P(E) = P(E | A) \cdot P(A) + P(E | B) \cdot P(B) + P(E | C) \cdot P(C) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(E) = \left(\frac{10}{33} \cdot P(A)\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot P(B)\right) + 0 \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation Now, we can substitute \( P(A) \) and \( P(B) \) into the equation to get the final probability.

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the probability that in the next two drawn balls, exactly one white ball is drawn after having drawn 6 balls from a bag containing 12 red balls and 6 white balls, with the condition that at least 4 of those drawn balls are white. ### Step 1: Define the events Let: - \( A \): The event that exactly 4 white balls are drawn in the first 6 draws. - \( B \): The event that exactly 5 white balls are drawn in the first 6 draws. - \( C \): The event that all 6 drawn balls are white. ...
