Best answer

It is given that a bag contains 10 white and 15 black balls with each trial independent of the other.

Consider success in the first draw be getting a white ball

So the probability of success in the first trial

P1 (success) = 10/25

Consider success in the second draw be getting a black ball

So the probability of success in the second trial without replacement of the first draw

P2 (success) = 15/24

Here the probability that first ball drawn is white and the second ball drawn is black with each trial being independent
