Detailed Solution

Let $E_{1}$ be the event that a ball is drawn from first bag, $E_{2}$ the event that a ball is drawn from the second bag and E the event a black ball is chosen. Then, we have

$P (E) = P (E_{1}) P (E / E_{1}) + P (E_{2}) P (E / E_{2}) = \frac{1}{3} . \frac{3}{7} + \frac{2}{3} . \frac{4}{7} = \frac{11}{21} .$
