`15/29`
उत्तर
A bag contains 5 red and 3 blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement the probability of getting exactly one red ball is `15/56`.
Explanation:
Given that: Bag contains 5 red and 3 blue balls.
Probability of getting exactly one red ball if 3 balls are randomly drawn without replacement
= P(R) . P(B) . P(B) + P(B) . P(R) . P(B) + P(B) . P(B) . P(R)
= `5/8*3/7*2/6 + 3/8*5/7*2/6 + 3/8*2/7*5/6`
= `30/336 + 30/336 + 30/336`
= `90/336`
= `15/56`

An urn contains 5 red and 2 green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn. If the drawn ball is green, then a red ball is added to the urn and if the drawn ball is red, then a green ball is added to the urn; the original ball is not returned to the urn. Now, a second ball is drawn at random from it. The probability that the second ball is red is:
