here's the solution for question 2(ii).

Given:

  • 3 Red balls (R)
  • 2 White balls (W)
  • 1 Blue ball (B) Total balls = 3+2+1=63 + 2 + 1 = 6 balls. Two balls are drawn one after another, without replacement.

c) Draw a tree diagram to illustrate all possible outcomes of the draws.

  1. Probabilities for the first draw.

    • P(First ball is Red)=P(R1)=36=12P(\text{First ball is Red}) = P(R_1) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
    • P(First ball is White)=P(W1)=26=13P(\text{First ball is White}) = P(W_1) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
    • P(First ball is Blue)=P(B1)=16P(\text{First ball is Blue}) = P(B_1) = \frac{1}{6}
  2. Probabilities for the second draw, given the first draw (without replacement, so 5 balls remain).

    If the first ball was Red (R1R_1): (Remaining: 2R, 2W, 1B)

    • P(Second ball is Red∣R1)=P(R2∣R1)=25P(\text{Second ball is Red} | R_1) = P(R_2 | R_1) = \frac{2}{5}
    • P(Second ball is White∣R1)=P(W2∣R1)=25P(\text{Second ball is White} | R_1) = P(W_2 | R_1) = \frac{2}{5}
    • P(Second ball is Blue∣R1)=P(B2∣R1)=15P(\text{Second ball is Blue} | R_1) = P(B_2 | R_1) = \frac{1}{5}

    If the first ball was White (W1W_1): (Remaining: 3R, 1W, 1B)

    • P(Second ball is Red∣W1)=P(R2∣W1)=35P(\text{Second ball is Red} | W_1) = P(R_2 | W_1) = \frac{3}{5}
    • P(Second ball is White∣W1)=P(W2∣W1)=15P(\text{Second ball is White} | W_1) = P(W_2 | W_1) = \frac{1}{5}
    • P(Second ball is Blue∣W1)=P(B2∣W1)=15P(\text{Second ball is Blue} | W_1) = P(B_2 | W_1) = \frac{1}{5}

    If the first ball was Blue (B1B_1): (Remaining: 3R, 2W, 0B)

    • P(Second ball is Red∣B1)=P(R2∣B1)=35P(\text{Second ball is Red} | B_1) = P(R_2 | B_1) = \frac{3}{5}
    • P(Second ball is White∣B1)=P(W2∣B1)=25P(\text{Second ball is White} | B_1) = P(W_2 | B_1) = \frac{2}{5}
    • P(Second ball is Blue∣B1)=P(B2∣B1)=05=0P(\text{Second ball is Blue} | B_1) = P(B_2 | B_1) = \frac{0}{5} = 0
  3. Calculate the probability of each path (outcome).

    Tree Diagram:

    • First Draw: Red (R1R_1) (P(R1)=36P(R_1) = \frac{3}{6})
      • Second Draw: Red (R2R_2)
        • P(R1∩R2)=P(R1)×P(R2∣R1)=36×25=630=15P(R_1 \cap R_2) = P(R_1) \times P(R_2 | R_1) = \frac{3}{6} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{30} = \frac{1}{5}
      • Second Draw: White (W2W_2)
        • P(R1∩W2)=P(R1)×P(W2∣R1)=36×25=630=15P(R_1 \cap W_2) = P(R_1) \times P(W_2 | R_1) = \frac{3}{6} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{30} = \frac{1}{5}
      • Second Draw: Blue (B2B_2)
        • $P(R_1 \cap B_2) = P(R_1) \times P(B_2 | R_
