A bag initially contains 1 red and 2 blue balls. An experiment consisting of selecting a ball at random, noting its color and replacing it together with an additional ball of the same color. If three such trials are made, then (A) Probability that a t least one blue ball is drawn is 0.9 (B) Probability that exactly one blue ball is drawn is 0.2 (C) Probability that all the drawn balls are red given that all the drawn balls are of same color is 0.2 (D) Probability that at least one red bal is drawn is 0.6

A

probability that at least one blue balls is drawn is `0.9`

B

probability that exactly one blue all is drawn is `0.2`

C

probability that all the drawn balls are red given that all the drawn balls are of same color is `0.2`

D

probability that at least one red ball is drawn is `0.6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

(1) `P(E_(1))=1-P(R R R)=1-[(1)/(3)xx(2)/(4)xx(3)/(5)]=0.9`
(2) `P(E_(2))=3P(B R R)=3xx(3)/(2)xx(1)/(4)xx(2)/(5)=0.2`
(3) `P(E_(3))=P(R R R //(R R RuuBBB))`
`=(0.1)/(0.1+2/3xx3/4xx4/5)`
`=(0.1)/(0.1+0.4)=0.2`
(4) `P(E_(4))=1-P(BBB)=1-2/5=0.6`
