Problem Statement:
-
In a box, there are 4 red balls and 2 white balls. Two balls are drawn one at a time without replacement. Determine the probability of the following events:
a. The two balls drawn are one red and one white.
b. The two balls drawn are both of the same color.
Let's solve each part.
Part a: Probability of One Red and One White Ball
To find the probability of drawing one red and one white ball in two draws without replacement, we have two cases:
- First draw: Red, Second draw: White
- First draw: White, Second draw: Red
Case 1: Red first, then White
- Probability of drawing a red ball first:
- Probability of drawing a white ball second: (since one red ball is already drawn)
The probability for this case is:
Case 2: White first, then Red
- Probability of drawing a white ball first:
- Probability of drawing a red ball second: (since one white ball is already drawn)
The probability for this case is:
Adding both cases, the total probability of drawing one red and one white is:
Part b: Probability of Both Balls Being the Same Color
This scenario involves two cases as well:
- Both balls are red.
- Both balls are white.
Case 1: Both Balls Are Red
- Probability of drawing a red ball first:
- Probability of drawing another red ball second: (since one red ball is already drawn)
The probability for this case is:
Case 2: Both Balls Are White
- Probability of drawing a white ball first:
- Probability of drawing another white ball second: (since one white ball is already drawn)
The probability for this case is:
Adding both cases, the total probability of drawing two balls of the same color is:
