Number System
A basket contains eight white and ten black balls. Two draws of one ball each are made without replacement. What is the probability that one ball is white and the other ball is black ?
Two balls can be drawn from 18 balls in 18C2 Ways, ie 153 ways. One white from 8 white balls can be drawn in 8C1 = 8 ways and one black ball from 10 black can be drawn in 10C1 = 10 ways.∴ n(S) = 153, n(E) = 8 x 10 = 80∴ P(E) = 80/153
