    A bag contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls. The probability of drawing two black balls in succession without replacement is calculated. The probability of drawing the first black ball is 5/8. The probability of drawing the second black ball after removing the first is 4/7. Multiplying these probabilities gives the final answer of 5/14.

    Problem No. 4 – A bag contains 3 white and 5 black balls.

    If two balls are drawn in


    succession without replacement, what is the probability that both balls are black?

    Given: 3 = white balls


    5 = black balls

    5
    Solution: P1= 8 ( probability of drawing a¿ball∈the first draw )
    4
    P2= ( probability of drawing a¿ ball∈the second draw )
    7

    P=P1 × P2
