Two balls are selected at random one by one without replacement from a bag containing 4 white and 6 black balls. If the probability that the first selected ball is black, given that the second selected ball is also black, is mn, where (m,n)=1, then m+n is equal to :
- 4
- 14
- 11
- 13
Answer
(2) 14
Solution
B1, B2: first, second ball black; P(B1 B2)= P(B1 B2)P(B2).
P(B1 B2)= 610 59= 13
P(B2)= 610 59+ 410 69= 35
P(B1 B2)= 1/33/5= 59 m+n=14
