Question
Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls. Find the probability that,
  1. Both balls are red,
  2. First ball is black and second is red,
  3. One of them is black and other is red.

Answer

The Box contains 10 black balls and 8 red balls. Then $\text{P(Black ball)}=\frac{10}{18}$ $\text{P(red ball)}=\frac{8}{18}$
  1. P(Both ballls are red) $=\frac{8}{18}\times\frac{8}{18}=\frac{16}{81}$
  2. P (First ball is black and second is red) $=\frac{10}{18}\times\frac{8}{18}=\frac{20}{81}$
  3. P (One of them is black and other is red)
$=\frac{10}{18}\times\frac{8}{18}+\frac{8}{18}\times\frac{10}{18}$
$=2\Big(\frac{20}{81}\Big)$
$=\frac{40}{81}$
