PLZ HELP!!!! STUCK!!!!!
There are 15 tiles in a bag. Of these, 7 are purple, 5 are black and the rest are white.
Event A = drawing a white tile on the first draw
Event B = drawing a purple tile on the second draw
If two tiles are drawn from the bag one after the other and not replaced, what is P(B|A) expressed in simplest form?

A. 1/5
B. 1/3
C. 7/15
D. 1/2

Respuesta :

Answer: C.

Step-by-step explanation: If I am wong I am sorry !

Probability of drawing two tiles from the bag one after the other and not replaced that is P(B/A) is equals to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

What is probability?

" Probability is defined as the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes."

Formula used

Conditional probability ' P(B/A)' = P(A∩B) / P(A)

According to the question,

Total number of tiles = 15

Number of while tiles  represented by 'A' = 3

Number of purple tiles represented by 'B' = 7

Number of black tiles= 5

Total number of outcomes = 15 × 14

                                              = 210

Favourable outcome for A = 3 × 14

                                            = 42

Favourable outcomes for A∩B = 3 × 7

                                                   = 21

Probability of A

'P(A)' =  [tex]\frac{42}{210}[/tex]

Probability of A∩B

'P(A∩B)' = [tex]\frac{21}{210}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the conditional probability we get,

Probability for P(B/A) = [tex]\frac{\frac{21}{210}}{\frac{42}{210} }[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, Option(D) is the correct answer.
