Question

Bag A contains 3 white marbles and 2 red marbles. Bag B contains 6 white marbles and 3 red marbles. A person draws

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag A:

White = 3

Total = 3 White + 2 Red = 5

Prob (white marble from A) = $\frac{3}{5}$

Bag B:

White = 6

Total = 6 White + 3 Red = 9

Prob (white marble from B) = $\frac{6}{9}$

Prob (white from Bag A and white from Bag B)

= Prob (white marble from A) x Prob (white marble from B)

= $\frac{3}{5}$ x $\frac{6}{9}$

= $\frac{2}{5}$
