Expert Answer:
Probability that out of the 3 balls, 2 are red and one is black would be equivalent to the sum of probability of drawing either a red ball from the first bag and then drawing a red and black ball from the second one and probability of drawing a black ball from the first bag and then drawing 2 red balls from the second bag.
So P(RRB) = R(RB from first bag)*P(R from the second bag) + P(RR from the first bag) * P(B from the second bag)
Probability that out of the 3 balls, 2 are red and one is black would be equivalent to the sum of probability of drawing either a red ball from the first bag and then drawing a red and black ball from the second one and probability of drawing a black ball from the first bag and then drawing 2 red balls from the second bag.
So P(RRB) = R(RB from first bag)*P(R from the second bag) + P(RR from the first bag) * P(B from the second bag)
