An urn contains 7 white, 5 black and 3 red balls. Two balls are drawn at random. Find the probability that one ball is white.
उत्तर
Out of 15 balls, two balls can be drawn in 15C2 ways.
∴ Total number of elementary events = 15C2 = 105
Out of seven white balls, one white ball can be drawn in 7C1 ways; and one ball can be drawn from the rest of the other coloured (red and black) balls in 8C1 ways.
∴ Favourable number of ways = 7C1× 8C1 = 7× 8 = 56
Hence, required probability = \[\frac{56}{105} = \frac{8}{15}\]
