      Question

      A container holds 15 orange, 9 purple, and 6 gray balls.

      If 2 balls are picked at random without replacement, find the probability that the first ball is orange and the second ball is either purple or gray.

      Solution

      ATQ, Total number of balls = 15 + 9 + 6 = 30 Case I: First ball is orange and the second ball is purple. Probability = (15/30) × (9/29) = 45/145 = 9/29 Case II: First ball is orange and the second ball is gray. Probability = (15/30) × (6/29) = 30/145 = 6/29 Required probability = (9/29) + (6/29) = 15/29
