Suppose 2 boxes:
- Box #1 contains:
+ 5 Black balls.
+ 6 White balls.
- Box #2 contains:
+ 8 Black balls.
+ 4 White balls.
- Two balls are drawn from Box #2 and placed into Box #1.
- A ball is drawn from Box #1.

1- What is the probability that the ball drawn from Box #1 is White?
2- Suppose that the ball drawn from Box #1 is White, then what is the probability that at least one White
ball was transferred to Box #1?
