Day 2: Basic Probability Puzzles #4

Shekomaru 9 years ago Could someone post the subject of study for this problem, so we can do some research to solve this problem? I have some ideas, but I'm a little lost in this one. My objective is to learn what I need no know, learn it, and then, apply it in this problem, and in many more.

[deleted] 9 years ago This is basic probability -- a good reference is the section on the book by Lehman, Leighton & Meyer, Mathematics for Computer Science. (Available for free)

Shekomaru 9 years ago I'm reading the book, and looks very useful
Thanks! :)

veganpunk 9 years ago There must be something wrong with the problem since it is not stated if one has to draw with or without replacement, which makes a difference obviously.

jerus77 Asked to answer 9 years ago Acutally I think you are right that it could be stated more precisely. In this case it's without replacement. But you could always try both solutions and see which one passes the test ;)

Mayank7533 Asked to answer 9 years ago There are 2 cases-
1>draw a red ball from b1 and 2 black balls from b2
2>braw a black ball from b1 and a red and black ball from b2 you just need to calculate individual probability of both cases and add them.

Vinprogress 9 years ago It will come like this 4/9 * 7/10 * 6/9 + 5/9 * 3/10 * 7/9 ?
