<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

A box contains 12 balls numbered 1 through 12.

Also the ball are drawn without replacement.

a)

The probability that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it.

i.e. the number on the first ball could be: {1,2,3}

Hence, the probability  that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it is:

              \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

b)

The probability that the first ball has a even number on it is:

There are total 6 even numbers {2,4,6,8,10,12}

but 4 can't be considered as it comes on the second draw, so we are left with just 5 balls with even number.

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{5}{12}=0.4166
