given that no of white balls = m no of black balls = n total no of balls = m+n probability of 2nd ball is white: 1st case: (w,w) P= m m+n ⋅ m-1 m+n-1 eqn(1) case 2 : (b, w) n m+n ⋅ m m+n-1 eqn (2) total probability is (w,w) + (b,w): m⋅(m-1) (m+n)⋅(m+n-1) + n⋅m (m+n)⋅(m+n-1) = m (m+n)⋅m+n-1 ⋅m+n-1 = m m+n
