Question
Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls. Find the probability that
one of them is black and other is red.
✓

Answer

Total number of balls = 18
Number of red balls = 8
Number of black balls = 10
Probability of getting first ball as red $=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}$
The ball is replaced after the first draw.
Probability of getting second ball as black $=\frac{10}{18}=\frac{5}{9}$
Therefore, probability of getting first ball as black and second ball as red $=\frac{4}{9}\times\frac{5}{9}=\frac{20}{81}$
Therefore, probability that one of them is black and other is red
= Probability of getting first ball black and second as red + Probability of getting first ball red and second ball black
$=\frac{20}{81}+\frac{20}{81}$
$=\frac{40}{81}$
