Best answer
Let E1 be the event of selecting Bag 1 and E2 be the event of selecting Bag 2. Also, let E3 be the event that black ball is selected Now, P(E1) = 2/6 = 1/3 and P(E2) = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3 P(E3/E1) = 3/7 and P(E3/E2) = 4/7 So, P(E3) = P(E1). P(E3/E1) + P(E2). P(E3/E2) = 1/3. 3/7 + 2/3. 4/7 = (3 + 8)/ 21 = 11/21 Therefore, the required probability is 11/21.
