The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the probabilities of rolling each number on the die. Since the probability of rolling a number is directly proportional to the number itself, we can express the probabilities as follows: - Let \( P(1) = k \) - \( P(2) = 2k \) - \( P(3) = 3k \) - \( P(4) = 4k \) - \( P(5) = 5k \) - \( P(6) = 6k \) The sum of all probabilities must equal 1: \[ P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 1 \] Substituting the expressions for each probability, we get: \[ k + 2k + 3k + 4k + 5k + 6k = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 21k = 1 \implies k = \frac{1}{21} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the individual probabilities. Now we can find the probabilities for each outcome: - \( P(1) = \frac{1}{21} \) - \( P(2) = \frac{2}{21} \) - \( P(3) = \frac{3}{21} \) - \( P(4) = \frac{4}{21} \) - \( P(5) = \frac{5}{21} \) - \( P(6) = \frac{6}{21} \) ### Step 3: Identify the prime numbers on the die. The prime numbers from 1 to 6 are: 2, 3, and 5. ### Step 4: Calculate the probability of rolling a prime number. The probability of rolling a prime number is: \[ P(\text{prime}) = P(2) + P(3) + P(5) = \frac{2}{21} + \frac{3}{21} + \frac{5}{21} = \frac{10}{21} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the probability of rolling a non-prime number. The probability of rolling a non-prime number is: \[ P(\text{non-prime}) = 1 - P(\text{prime}) = 1 - \frac{10}{21} = \frac{11}{21} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the probability of drawing a black ball. - If a prime number is rolled, a ball is chosen from urn A (which contains 2 white and 3 black balls). The probability of drawing a black ball from urn A is: \[ P(\text{black | prime}) = \frac{3}{5} \] - If a non-prime number is rolled, a ball is chosen from urn B (which contains 3 white and 2 black balls). The probability of drawing a black ball from urn B is: \[ P(\text{black | non-prime}) = \frac{2}{5} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the total probability of drawing a black ball. Using the law of total probability: \[ P(\text{black}) = P(\text{prime}) \cdot P(\text{black | prime}) + P(\text{non-prime}) \cdot P(\text{black | non-prime}) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(\text{black}) = \left(\frac{10}{21} \cdot \frac{3}{5}\right) + \left(\frac{11}{21} \cdot \frac{2}{5}\right) \] Calculating each term: \[ P(\text{black}) = \frac{30}{105} + \frac{22}{105} = \frac{52}{105} \] ### Final Answer: The probability of drawing a black ball is \( \frac{52}{105} \). ---
