A bag contains 6 balls. Two balls are drawn from it at random and both are found to be black. The probability that the bag contains at least 5 black balls is
  1. 57
  2. 27
  3. 37
  4. 56

Solution

Let the bag contains black ballsB and non-black balls B¯, then we can have the following possibilities:

6B,0B¯, 5B,1B¯, 4B,2B¯, 3B,3B¯,2B,4B¯

All the events are equally likely, i.e., 15.
