Two urns contain white balls and yellow balls. The first urn contains 9 white balls and 9 yellow balls and the second urn contains 8 white balls and 3 yellow balls. A ball is drawn at random from each urn. What is the probability that both balls are white?
A 4/11
B 17/29
C 1/72
D 17/198
The probability of drawing a white ball from the first urn is 9/18 = 1/2. The probability of drawing a white ball from the second urn is 8/11.
Therefore, the probability of drawing a white ball from both urns is (1/2) * (8/11) = 4/11.
So, the answer is A) 4/11.
