Question

    A bag holds 12 pink balls and 13 white balls. If two

    balls are randomly drawn from the bag, what is the probability that the two balls are of different colors?
    A (12/25) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (13/25) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (3/10) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (13/50) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E (2/5) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Required probability = Probability that first ball is pink and second is white + Probability that first ball is white and second is pink = (12/25) X (13/24) + (13/25) X (12/24) = (13/50) + (13/50) = (26/50) = (13/25)
