Consider 3 bolws. The bowl A has 5 white balls and 9 red balls, the bowl B has 3 white balls and 7 red balls, and the bowl C has 9 white balls and 4 red balls. A single ball is selected from the bowl A and is transfer to the bowl B, Then a ball is selected from the bowl  B and is transfer to the bowl C, Finaly we select a single ball form the bowl C. Whats the probability that the ball selected from the bowl C is White?

Question

Consider 3 bolws. The bowl A has 5 white balls and 9 red balls, the bowl B has 3 white balls and 7 red balls, and the bowl C has 9 white balls and 4 red balls. A single ball is selected from the bowl A and is transfer to the bowl B, Then a ball is selected from the bowl  B and is transfer to the bowl C, Finaly we select a single ball form the bowl C. Whats the probability that the ball selected from the bowl C is White?

Expert Solution
Step 1

As given above:

Bowl A has 5 white and 9 red balls.

Bowl B has 3 white and 7 red balls.

Bowl C has 9 white and 4 red balls.

Now A single ball is selected from the bowl A and is transfer to the bowl B, Then a ball is selected from the bowl  B and is transfer to the bowl C:

Case-1) If we select one white ball from bowl A and then put it in bowl B and then Again select white ball from B and then put it in C then the probability that the ball selected from the bowl C is White is:

P1=514×411×1014P1=0.0927

Case-2) If we select one white ball from bowl A and then put it in bowl B and then select a red ball from B and then put it in C then the probability that the ball selected from the bowl C is White is:

P2=514×711×914P2=0.1461
