An urn contains 6 white and 9 black balls. Two successive draws of 4 balls are made without replacement. The probability, that the first draw gives all white balls and the second draw gives all black balls, is :
  1. 5256
  2. 5715
  3. 3715
  4. 3256

Solution

Total number of balls in the bag =6+9=15.

Number of white balls =6.

Number of black balls =9.

Four balls are drawn at random at a time.

The probability that first draw give four white balls

C46C415=191

The balls are not replaced.

Now, the probability that second draw give four black balls

C49C411=2155

The probability that the first draw give four white balls  and second draw give four black balls

=191×2155=3715

Hence, the required probability is 3715.
