A jar contains 2 orange balls, 5 black balls, and 3 pink balls.

Event A= drawing a black ball on the first draw

Event B= drawing a pink ball on the second draw

If two balls are drawn from the jar, one after the other without replacement, what is P(A and B) expressed in simplest form?

The probability of Event A is 5/10 which simplifies to 1/2.

The probability of Event B is 3/9 which simplifies to 1/3.

Because it says "and" we need to multiply them which gives us 1/2*1/3=1/6

[tex]|\Omega|=10\cdot9=90\\ |A\cap B|=5\cdot3=15\\\\ P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{15}{90}=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
