Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing $10$ black and $8$ red balls. Find the probability that First ball is black and second is red.
Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing $10$ black and $8$ red balls. Find the probability that First ball is black and second is red.
Total number of balls $=18$
Number of red balls $=8$
Number of black balls $=10$
Probability of getting first ball black $=\frac{10}{18}=\frac{5}{9}$
The ball is replaced after the first draw.
Probability of getting second ball as red $=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}$
Therefore, probability of getting first ball as black and second ball as red $=\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{20}{81}$

A box of oranges is inspected by examining three randomly selected oranges drawn without replacement. If all the three oranges are good, the box is approved for sale, otherwise, it is rejected. Find the probability that a box containing $15$ oranges out of which $12$ are good and $3$ are bad ones will be approved for sale.
