There are 8 white and 4 black balls in the urn. 2 balls are removed from the urn.

There are 8 white and 4 black balls in the urn. 2 balls are removed from the urn. Find the probability that both balls will be white.

Let’s find the total number of balls:

8 + 4 = 12 pieces.

Then the probability that the first ball will be white is equal to:

8:12 = 2/3.

The probability that the second ball will also be white is:

(8 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 7/11.

Since the events are independent, the total probability is equal to the product of the probabilities:

2/3 * 7/11 = 14/33.

Answer: The probability of drawing two white balls is 14/33.
