The probability of drawing a white marble on the first draw, followed by a black marble on the second is 4/15

How to determine the probability?

The distribution of the marbles is given as:

White = 6

Black = 4

When the white marble is drawn, the probability is:

P(White) = 6/10

Now, there are 9 marbles left.

When the black marble is drawn, the probability is:

P(Black) = 4/9

The required probability is:

P = 6/10 * 4/9

Evaluate

P = 4/15

hence, the probability is 4/15
