Abowl contains 25 balls numbered 1 to 25. a ball is drawn and its number is noted. without replacing the first ball, another ball is drawn. the probability that the numbers on both balls are odd numbers is ?

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.26 = 26% probability that the numbers on both balls are odd numbers.

--------------------------------

The balls are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

In which:

Combinations formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

--------------------------------

In this question:

--------------------------------

The probability that the numbers on both balls are odd numbers is ?

This is P(X = 2). Thus

0.26 = 26% probability that the numbers on both balls are odd numbers.
