Let Bi= ith ball drawn is black
Wi= it ball drawn is white; i=12
and A= third ball drawn is black.
We observe that the black ball can be drawn in the third draw in one of the following mutually exclusive ways.
1) Both first and second balls drawn are white and third ball drawn is black,
i.e (W1∩W2)∩A
2) Both first and second balls are black and third ball drawn is black
i.e. (B1∩B2)∩A
3) The first ball drawn is white, the second ball drawn is black and the third ball drawn is black
i.e (W1∩B2)∩A
4) The first ball drawn is black, the second ball drawn is white and the third ball drawn is black
i.e v
∴P(A)=p[{(W1∩W2)∩A}∪{(B2∩B2)∩A}∪{(W1∩B2)∩A}∪{(B1∩W2)∪A}]=P{(W1∩W2)∩A}+P{(B1∩B2)∩A}+P{(W1∩B2)∩A}+P{(B1∩W2)∩A}
=P(W1∩W2).P(A(W1∩W2))+P(B1∩B2).P(A(B1∩B2))
+P(W1∩B2).P(A(W1∩B2))+P(B1∩W2).P(A(B1∩W2))
=(24×13)×1+(24×35)×46+(24×23)×34+(24×25)×34
=16+15+14+320=2330
