The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probabilities for both parts of the question. ### Given: - **Bag 1**: 5 red balls and 5 black balls (Total = 10 balls) - **Bag 2**: 6 red balls and 4 black balls (Total = 10 balls) ### Part (i): Probability that both balls are of the same color 1. **Calculate the probability of both balls being black**: - Probability of drawing a black ball from Bag 1 = Number of black balls in Bag 1 / Total balls in Bag 1 = \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Probability of drawing a black ball from Bag 2 = Number of black balls in Bag 2 / Total balls in Bag 2 = \( \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \) - Therefore, the combined probability of both balls being black: \[ P(\text{Black, Black}) = P(\text{Black from Bag 1}) \times P(\text{Black from Bag 2}) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \] 2. **Calculate the probability of both balls being red**: - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag 1 = Number of red balls in Bag 1 / Total balls in Bag 1 = \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag 2 = Number of red balls in Bag 2 / Total balls in Bag 2 = \( \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \) - Therefore, the combined probability of both balls being red: \[ P(\text{Red, Red}) = P(\text{Red from Bag 1}) \times P(\text{Red from Bag 2}) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{10} \] 3. **Total probability of both balls being the same color**: - Add the probabilities of both scenarios: \[ P(\text{Same Color}) = P(\text{Black, Black}) + P(\text{Red, Red}) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{10} \] - Convert \( \frac{1}{5} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 10: \[ \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10} \] - Therefore: \[ P(\text{Same Color}) = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Part (ii): Probability that one ball is red and the other is black 1. **Calculate the probability of drawing a black ball from Bag 1 and a red ball from Bag 2**: - Probability of drawing a black ball from Bag 1 = \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag 2 = \( \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \) - Therefore: \[ P(\text{Black from Bag 1, Red from Bag 2}) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{10} \] 2. **Calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from Bag 1 and a black ball from Bag 2**: - Probability of drawing a red ball from Bag 1 = \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Probability of drawing a black ball from Bag 2 = \( \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \) - Therefore: \[ P(\text{Red from Bag 1, Black from Bag 2}) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \] 3. **Total probability of one ball being red and the other being black**: - Add the probabilities of both scenarios: \[ P(\text{One Red, One Black}) = P(\text{Black from Bag 1, Red from Bag 2}) + P(\text{Red from Bag 1, Black from Bag 2}) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{5} \] - Convert \( \frac{1}{5} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 10: \[ \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10} \] - Therefore: \[ P(\text{One Red, One Black}) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) The probability that both balls are of the same color is \( \frac{1}{2} \). - (ii) The probability that one ball is red and the other is black is \( \frac{1}{2} \).
