-- The first urn has 9 balls in it all together, and 2 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  2/9 .

-- The second urn has 13 balls in it all together, and 3 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  3/13 .

-- The probability of being successful BOTH times is

        (2/9) x (3/13)  =  ( 6/117 )  =  about  0.0513  or  5.13% (rounded)

Answer:

Probability that both balls are white =\frac{6}{117} =0.051=5.1\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of outcomes.

The first urn contains 2 white balls and 7 yellow balls and the second urn contains 3 white balls and 10 yellow balls.

Probability of drawing white ball from first urn =\frac{2}{2+7} =\frac{2}{9}

Probability of drawing white ball from second urn =\frac{3}{3+10} =\frac{3}{13}    

Probability that both balls are white = Probability of drawing white ball from first urn x  Probability of drawing white ball from second urn

Probability that both balls are white = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{13}=\frac{6}{117} =0.051=5.1\%

Ainat [17]
Depends. All multiples of 400, you could have many different options. For example, 400 buses 1 kid on ea. 40 buses 10 kids on ea.

400x1=400
40x10=400

Just if the two numbers multiple to 400 it can be an answer
