Been struggling with an exercise for quite some time as i can't get the correct answer, so decided to get some help.
there are 8 black and 8 white balls in the urn. we randomly pull 4 balls in a row. let’s mark the events:
- A1 - (1-2 ball pair contains at least 1 white ball)
- A2 - (2-3 ball pair contains at least 1 black ball)
- A3 - (3-4 ball pair are both black)
simplify events $A = \neg(\neg A_1∪A_2)∩A_3$ and find probability $P(A)$.
what I did is first of all simplify the above event:
$A1∩\neg A2∩A3$
and try to calculate the events
$A1= \frac{8}{16}*\frac{7}{15}+\frac{8}{16}*\frac{8}{15}+\frac{8}{16}*\frac{8}{15}$ which is the same as $1-\frac{8}{16}*\frac{7}{15}$
so I did the same with the rest
$A2 = 1-\frac{8}{16}*\frac{7}{15}$
$A3 = \frac{1}{16}*\frac{7}{15}$
but in the end i couldn't get the right answer... Any help would be appreciated
answered by the comments and sadly i can't mark them as answers
