Problema Solution

A bag contains five white marbles and five black marbles. What is the probability of drawing a white marble, not replacing it, and then drawing a black marble?

Answer provided by our tutors

P(draw white marble, and then draw black marble) = (5/(5 + 5))*(5/(5 + 5 - 1))

P(draw white marble, and then draw black marble) = (5/10)(5/9)

P(draw white marble, and then draw black marble) = 0.278
