The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation and calculate the probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B after transferring two balls from Bag A. ### Step 1: Understand the contents of Bag A and Bag B - Bag A contains 4 white balls and 3 black balls. - Bag B contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls. ### Step 2: Identify the possible cases for drawing balls from Bag A When we draw two balls from Bag A, there are three possible cases: 1. Case 1: Draw 2 white balls. 2. Case 2: Draw 2 black balls. 3. Case 3: Draw 1 white ball and 1 black ball. ### Step 3: Calculate the probabilities for each case #### Case 1: Drawing 2 white balls - The number of ways to choose 2 white balls from 4 is given by \( \binom{4}{2} \). - After transferring these 2 white balls to Bag B, Bag B will have \( 3 + 2 = 5 \) white balls and 5 black balls (total = 10 balls). - The probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B is \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \). **Probability for Case 1:** \[ P_1 = \frac{\binom{4}{2}}{\binom{7}{2}} \cdot \frac{5}{10} = \frac{6}{21} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{21} = \frac{1}{7} \] #### Case 2: Drawing 2 black balls - The number of ways to choose 2 black balls from 3 is given by \( \binom{3}{2} \). - After transferring these 2 black balls to Bag B, Bag B will have 3 white balls and \( 5 + 2 = 7 \) black balls (total = 10 balls). - The probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B is \( \frac{3}{10} \). **Probability for Case 2:** \[ P_2 = \frac{\binom{3}{2}}{\binom{7}{2}} \cdot \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3}{21} \cdot \frac{3}{10} = \frac{9}{210} = \frac{3}{70} \] #### Case 3: Drawing 1 white ball and 1 black ball - The number of ways to choose 1 white ball from 4 and 1 black ball from 3 is given by \( \binom{4}{1} \cdot \binom{3}{1} \). - After transferring these balls to Bag B, Bag B will have \( 3 + 1 = 4 \) white balls and \( 5 + 1 = 6 \) black balls (total = 10 balls). - The probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B is \( \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \). **Probability for Case 3:** \[ P_3 = \frac{\binom{4}{1} \cdot \binom{3}{1}}{\binom{7}{2}} \cdot \frac{4}{10} = \frac{12}{21} \cdot \frac{2}{5} = \frac{24}{105} = \frac{8}{35} \] ### Step 4: Combine the probabilities from all cases Now, we add the probabilities from all three cases to find the total probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B. \[ P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = \frac{1}{7} + \frac{3}{70} + \frac{8}{35} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 70. \[ P = \frac{10}{70} + \frac{3}{70} + \frac{16}{70} = \frac{29}{70} \] ### Final Answer The probability of drawing a white ball from Bag B is \( \frac{29}{70} \). ---
