Answer:

Probability[Selected ball is a white ball without replacement (W)] = 5 / 22

Explanation:

Given:

Number of white ball in jar = 5

Number of black ball in jar = 6

Find;

Probability[Selected ball is a white ball without replacement (W)]

Computation:

Probability of an event = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Probability of 1st white ball = 5 / [5 + 6]

Probability of 1st white ball = 5 / 11

Probability of 2nd white ball [without replacement] = 5 / [11 - 1]

Probability of 2nd white ball [without replacement] = 5 / 10

Probability[Selected ball is a white ball without replacement (W)] = [5/11][5/10]

Probability[Selected ball is a white ball without replacement (W)] = 25 / 110

Probability[Selected ball is a white ball without replacement (W)] = 5 / 22
