Task 3. Solve24. Two lots of large glass beads are available (A and B). Lot A has four beads, two of whichare chipped; and lot B has five beads, two of which are chipped. Two beads are chosenat random from lot A and passed to lot B. Then, one bead is randomly selected from lotB. Find:(a) The probability that the selected bead is chipped.(b) The probability that the two beads selected from lot A were not chipped if the beadselected from lot B is not chipped.

Given: Lot An(total) = 4n(chipped) =2 Lot Bn(total) = 5n(chipped) =2 Let C denote chipped bead…
