An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white, it is not replaced into the urn. Otherwise, it is replaced with another ball of the same colour. The process is repeated. Find the probability that the third ball is drawn is black.
उत्तर
Let Bi = ith ball drawn is black.
Wi = ith ball drawn is white; i =1,2 and A = Third ball drawn is black
We observe that the black ball can be drawn in the third draw in one of the following mutually exclusive ways.
(1) Both first and second balls drawn are white and third ball drawn is black,
ie, (W1 ∩ W2) ∩ A.
(2) Both first and second balls are black and third ball drawn is black ie, (B1 ∩ B2) ∩ A.
(3) The first ball drawn is white, the second ball drawn is black and the third ball drawn is black ie, (W1 ∩ B2) ∩ A.
(4) The first ball drawn is black, the second ball drawn is white and the third ball drawn is black ie, (B1∩ W2) ∩ A.
`therefore P(A) = P[{(W_1∩W_2)∩ A}∪{(B_1∩ B_2)..A}`
`∪{(W1∩ B_2)∩ A}∪{(B_1∩ W_2)∩A}]`
`= P{(W_1∩ W_2)∩ A} + P{(B_1∩ B_2)∩ A}`
`+ P{(W_1∩ B_2)∩ A} + P {(B_1∩ W_2)∩ A}`
`= P(W_1∩ W_2). P(A//(W_1∩ W_2)) + P(B_1∩ B_2)`
`P(A//(B_1∩ B_2)) + P(W_1∩ B_2).P(A//(W_1∩ B_2))`
`+P(B_1∩ W_2).P(A//(B_1∩ W_2))`
`= (2/4 xx 1/3) xx 1+(2/4xx3/5)xx4/6`
`+(2/4xx2/3)xx3/4+(2/4xx2/5)xx3/4`
`= 1/6+1/5+1/4+3/20 = 23/30`

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?
