Question
Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls. Find the probability that.
First ball is black and second is red.

Answer

Given,
Box contains 10 black and 8 red balls.
Two balls are drawn with replacement.
P (First ball is black and second is red)
$=\text{P}(\text{B}\cap\text{R})$
$=\text{P(B)}\text{ P(R)}$
$=\frac{10}{18}\times\frac{8}{18}$
$=\frac{20}{81}$
Required probability $=\frac{20}{81}$

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets a $5$ or $6,$ she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of heads. If she gets $1, 2, 3$ or $4,$ she tosses a coin once and notes whether a head or tail is obtained. If she obtained exactly one head, what is the probability that she threw $1, 2, 3$ or $4$ with the die?
