Question 534163: There are 2 buckets. The first bucket has 2 red, 1 green, and 3 black balls in it. The second bucket has 3 red, 2 green, and 1 black ball in it. If there is a 75% chance of going to bucket #1 and a 25% chance of going to bucket #2, what is the probability that a black ball will be picked?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 2 buckets. The first bucket has 2 red, 1 green, and 3 black balls in it. The second bucket has 3 red, 2 green, and 1 black ball in it. If there is a 75% chance of going to bucket #1 and a 25% chance of going to bucket #2, what is the probability that a black ball will be picked?
---------------------
0.75*(3/6) + 0.25*(1/6)
