The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from bag B after transferring a ball from bag A. ### Step 1: Define the events Let: - Event \( E_1 \): A red ball is transferred from bag A to bag B. - Event \( E_2 \): A black ball is transferred from bag A to bag B. ### Step 2: Calculate the probabilities of transferring each type of ball from bag A Bag A contains 4 red balls and 5 black balls, making a total of 9 balls. - Probability of transferring a red ball \( P(E_1) \): \[ P(E_1) = \frac{4}{9} \] - Probability of transferring a black ball \( P(E_2) \): \[ P(E_2) = \frac{5}{9} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the situation after transferring a ball 1. **If a red ball is transferred (Event \( E_1 \))**: - Bag B will then have \( 6 + 1 = 7 \) red balls and 3 black balls. - Total balls in bag B = \( 7 + 3 = 10 \). Probability of drawing a red ball from bag B given \( E_1 \): \[ P(E | E_1) = \frac{7}{10} \] 2. **If a black ball is transferred (Event \( E_2 \))**: - Bag B will then have 6 red balls and \( 3 + 1 = 4 \) black balls. - Total balls in bag B = \( 6 + 4 = 10 \). Probability of drawing a red ball from bag B given \( E_2 \): \[ P(E | E_2) = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 4: Use the Total Probability Theorem The total probability of drawing a red ball from bag B is given by: \[ P(E) = P(E_1) \cdot P(E | E_1) + P(E_2) \cdot P(E | E_2) \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ P(E) = \left(\frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{7}{10}\right) + \left(\frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{3}{5}\right) \] Calculating each term: 1. For the first term: \[ \frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{7}{10} = \frac{28}{90} \] 2. For the second term: \[ \frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{3}{5} = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{30}{90} \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now, we combine the two probabilities: \[ P(E) = \frac{28}{90} + \frac{30}{90} = \frac{58}{90} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the final probability \[ P(E) = \frac{58}{90} = \frac{29}{45} \] Thus, the probability that the ball drawn from bag B is red is: \[ \boxed{\frac{29}{45}} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a red ball from bag B after transferring a ball from bag A. ### Step 1: Define the events Let: - Event \( E_1 \): A red ball is transferred from bag A to bag B. - Event \( E_2 \): A black ball is transferred from bag A to bag B. ### Step 2: Calculate the probabilities of transferring each type of ball from bag A ...
