?• A bag contains 6 black discs and 4 white disc$ only.
Jasmin takes at nndom a disc from the bag and records the colour of the disc.
if the disc is black, she replaces the black disc in the bag.
If the disc is white, she does not replace the white disc in the bag._
Jasmin now takes at random a second disc from the bag and records the colour of the disc.
Calculate the probability.that Jasmin records o~e disc ~f each colour. . (3)
