A bag A contains 2 red balls and 3 yellow balls. A bag B contains 4 red balls and 2 yellow balls.
Two balls are randomly selected from one of the bags. If bag A is chosen, then the probabilities
are as follows:
1
P ( 2 red balls ) =
10
3
P ( 2 yellow balls ) =
10
6
P (1 red ball and 1 yellow ball ) =
10

(a) Calculate the probabilities for the same three outcomes if bag B is chosen. [5]

In order to decide which bag to choose, a fair die with six faces is rolled. If a 1 or 6 is rolled,
then bag A is chosen. If a 2, 3, 4 or 5 is rolled, then bag B is chosen.

The die is rolled and then two balls are drawn from the selected bag.

(b) Calculate the probability that two red balls are selected. [3]

(c) Given that two red balls are obtained, find the probability that a 1 or 6 was rolled
on the die. [4]
