Question

Two urns each contain green balls and blue balls. Urn I contains 4 green balls and 6 blue balls, and Urn II contains 6 green balls and 2 blue balls. A ball is drawn at random from each urn. What is the probability that both balls are blue?. . A. 2/51. B. 3/20. C.1/10. D.4/153

Answer 1

Urn 1 = 4 green balls and 6 blue balls, a total of 10 balls
Urn 2 = 6 green balls and 2 blue balls, a total of 8 balls.

Probability of blue balls:
Urn 1 : P = 6/10
Urn 2 : P = 2/8

Probability that both balls are blue:
6/10 * 2/8 = 6*2 / 10*8 = 12/80 = 6/40 = 3/20

Answer is B. 3/20
