Question
An urn contains 25 balls numbered 1 to 25. Two balls are drawn from the urn with replacement. Find the probability of getting both odd numbers.
Solution
Total number of balls = 25
∴ total number of cases = 25
Let E denote the event of drawing even numbered ball and O denote the event of drawing odd numbered ball.
Number of balls numbered odd = 13
Number of balls numbered even = 12
Since the balls are replaced back before the next draw
