Suppose there are two urns, A and B, containing white and yellow balls. Urn A contains 3 white balls and 2 yellow balls, while Urn B contains 2 white balls and 3 yellow balls.

1. A random ball is transferred from Urn A to Urn B without knowing its color. If a ball is chosen randomly from Urn B after the transfer, what is the probability that it will be a white ball?

2. Suppose 2 balls are transferred from Urn A to Urn B without knowing its color. If a ball is chosen randomly from Urn B after the transfer, what is the probability that it will be a white ball?
