Answer:
30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question:
Red ball from urn A:
3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a red ball from urn A.
Then urn B will have 5 balls, 2 of which are red, so 2/5 probability of getting a red ball.
Blue ball from urn A:
3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a blue ball from urn A.
Then urn B will have 5 balls, 1 of which is red, so 1/5 probability of getting a red ball.
Total:
3/10 = 0.3 = 30%.
30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.
