Dear Student,

Let A1 be the event of drawing a club card from the pack of cards, A2 be the event of drawing a red card from the deck of cards and A3 be the event of drawing neither a club card nor a red card from a pack of cards.Let W be the event of getting a white ball.Now, according to question,PA1 = 1352 = 14; PW  A1 = 58PA2 = 2652 = 24; PW  A2 = 68PA3 = 1352 = 14; PW  A3 = 0 Using the theorem of total probability,PW = PA1.PW  A1 + PA2.PW  A2 + PA3.PW  A3           = 14 × 58 + 24 × 68 + 14 × 0           = 5 + 1632 = 2132
