Schrödinger's cat was placed in a box with 5 white mice and 5 black mice and the lid was then closed. Animal rights activists quickly intervened but not soon enough and when the lid was raised it was found that only 4 mice were still alive. Find the probability that at least 1 white and at least 1 black mouse were among the 4 survivors.
