Bag A has 10 black balls and 1 white ball. Bag B has 12 black balls and 1 white ball. Jane has Bag A and Dick has Bag B. They draw with replacement from their bags at the same time (independently) until someone draws a white ball. (Then the person who did not draw a white ball does the dishes.) Find the probability that...
a. they draw the first white ball at the same time (after equal number of attempts). Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
b. Dick draws the first white ball before Jane does. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
@Jessie00C,
There are two ways to solve this:
a. the hard way
b. the other hard way
a. 1/23
b. 10/23
