An urn contains 10 red and 3 black balls.another urn contains 3 red and 5 black balls. Two balls are transferred from the first urn to the second urn without noticing their color. One ball is now drawn from the second urn and it is found to be red. What is the probability that 1 red and 1 black are transferred
Total number of balls in 1st urn
= 10+3
= 13
Now
Total number of balls in 2nd urn
= 3+5
= 8
According to question
2 balls are transferred from 1st urn to 2nd
Probability of event= no of possible outcomes/total number of outcomes
probability of transferring 2 red ball
= 10/13...........(1)
and
probability of transferring 2 black balls
= 3/13...........(2)
hence
from equation 1 and 2.
10/13-3/13
=>. 10-3/13
=> 7/13
