The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the probability that both balls drawn from the urns are of the same color. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the contents of the urns - **Urn 1** contains: 1 Black ball (B) and 1 Green ball (G). - **Urn 2** contains: 1 White ball (W) and 1 Green ball (G). ### Step 2: List the possible outcomes When we draw one ball from each urn, the possible combinations of the balls drawn are: 1. (B, W) - Black from Urn 1 and White from Urn 2 2. (B, G) - Black from Urn 1 and Green from Urn 2 3. (G, W) - Green from Urn 1 and White from Urn 2 4. (G, G) - Green from Urn 1 and Green from Urn 2 ### Step 3: Identify the favorable outcomes We are interested in the outcomes where both balls are of the same color. The favorable outcomes from our list are: 1. (G, G) - Both balls are Green. ### Step 4: Count the total outcomes and favorable outcomes - Total outcomes = 4 (as listed above) - Favorable outcomes = 1 (only (G, G)) ### Step 5: Calculate the probability The probability \( P \) that both balls are of the same color is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{same color}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer The probability that both balls are of the same color is \( \frac{1}{4} \). ---
