Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing $10$ black and $8$ red balls. Find the probability that both balls are red.
Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing $10$ black and $8$ red balls. Find the probability that both balls are red.
Total number of balls $=18$
Number of red balls $=8$
Number of black balls $=10$
Probability of getting a red ball in the first draw $=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}$
The ball is replaced after the first draw.
$\therefore$ Probability of getting a red ball in the second draw $=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}$
Therefore, probability of getting both the balls red $=\frac{4}{9} \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{16}{81}$

Urn $A$ contains $6$ red and $4$ black balls and urn $B$ contains $4$ red and $6$ black balls. One ball is drawn at random from urn $A$ and placed in urn $B$. Then one ball is drawn at random from urn $B$ and placed in urn $A$. If one ball is now drawn at random from urn $A$, the probability that it is found to be red, is
