The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of getting at least one success when drawing two balls from an urn containing 25 balls numbered from 1 to 25 (where an odd number is considered a success), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls**: - The urn contains 25 balls numbered from 1 to 25. 2. **Determine the Number of Successes and Failures**: - Odd numbers (successes): 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 → Total = 13 odd numbers. - Even numbers (failures): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 → Total = 12 even numbers. 3. **Calculate the Probability of Success (p) and Failure (q)**: - Probability of success (p) = Number of odd numbers / Total number of balls = 13/25. - Probability of failure (q) = Number of even numbers / Total number of balls = 12/25. 4. **Find the Probability of Getting at Least One Success**: - The probability of getting at least one success in two trials can be calculated using the complement rule: \[ P(\text{at least one success}) = 1 - P(\text{no successes}) \] - The probability of no successes (i.e., both draws are failures) when drawing two balls is: \[ P(\text{no successes}) = q^2 = \left(\frac{12}{25}\right)^2 = \frac{144}{625} \] 5. **Calculate the Probability of At Least One Success**: - Now, substituting into the complement formula: \[ P(\text{at least one success}) = 1 - P(\text{no successes}) = 1 - \frac{144}{625} = \frac{625 - 144}{625} = \frac{481}{625} \] ### Final Answer: The probability of getting at least one success when drawing two balls from the urn is \(\frac{481}{625}\). ---
