The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that the first three balls drawn from the bag are white and the second three balls drawn are black. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls**: - There are 8 white balls and 7 black balls in the bag. - Total balls = 8 (white) + 7 (black) = 15 balls. 2. **Calculate the Probability of Drawing 3 White Balls First (P1)**: - The number of ways to choose 3 white balls from 8 is given by the combination formula \( \binom{n}{r} \): \[ \text{Ways to choose 3 white balls} = \binom{8}{3} = \frac{8 \times 7 \times 6}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 56 \] - The total number of ways to choose any 3 balls from 15 is: \[ \text{Ways to choose any 3 balls} = \binom{15}{3} = \frac{15 \times 14 \times 13}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 455 \] - Therefore, the probability \( P1 \) of drawing 3 white balls first is: \[ P1 = \frac{\text{Ways to choose 3 white balls}}{\text{Ways to choose any 3 balls}} = \frac{56}{455} \] 3. **Update the Count of Balls After the First Draw**: - After drawing 3 white balls, the remaining balls are: - White balls left = 8 - 3 = 5 - Black balls left = 7 - Total balls left = 5 (white) + 7 (black) = 12 balls. 4. **Calculate the Probability of Drawing 3 Black Balls Second (P2)**: - The number of ways to choose 3 black balls from 7 is: \[ \text{Ways to choose 3 black balls} = \binom{7}{3} = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 35 \] - The total number of ways to choose any 3 balls from the remaining 12 is: \[ \text{Ways to choose any 3 balls} = \binom{12}{3} = \frac{12 \times 11 \times 10}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 220 \] - Therefore, the probability \( P2 \) of drawing 3 black balls second is: \[ P2 = \frac{\text{Ways to choose 3 black balls}}{\text{Ways to choose any 3 balls}} = \frac{35}{220} = \frac{7}{44} \] 5. **Calculate the Total Probability**: - The total probability of the event (first 3 balls white and second 3 balls black) is the product of \( P1 \) and \( P2 \): \[ \text{Total Probability} = P1 \times P2 = \frac{56}{455} \times \frac{7}{44} \] - Simplifying this: \[ = \frac{56 \times 7}{455 \times 44} = \frac{392}{20020} \] - Now, simplifying \( \frac{392}{20020} \): - The GCD of 392 and 20020 is 14. - Thus, \( \frac{392 \div 14}{20020 \div 14} = \frac{28}{1430} \). 6. **Final Simplification**: - Further simplifying \( \frac{28}{1430} \): - The GCD of 28 and 1430 is 14. - Thus, \( \frac{28 \div 14}{1430 \div 14} = \frac{2}{102.14} \approx \frac{1}{51.07} \). ### Final Answer: The probability that the first three balls drawn are white and the second three balls drawn are black is: \[ \frac{14}{715} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that the first three balls drawn from the bag are white and the second three balls drawn are black. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls**: - There are 8 white balls and 7 black balls in the bag. - Total balls = 8 (white) + 7 (black) = 15 balls. ...
