7. Consider the following gamel. We start with an urn with 1 red ball and 1 blue ball. Each round, we reach in and grab a ball at random, then return that ball plus one more ball of the same color. Repeat this process until there are n balls in the bin. Show that the number of red balls is equally likely to be any number between 1 and n - 1.

3. * One urn contains one black ball and one red ball. A second urn contains one white ball and one red ball. One ball is selected at random from each urn (a) Exhibit the sample space ? for this experiment. (b) Show the subset of ? that defines the event A that both balls will be of the same color. (c) Assume each elementary outcome in 2 is equally likely to occur. What is the probability that both balls...
2. Consider an urn that contains red and green balls. At time 0 there are k balls with at least one ball of each color. At time n we draw out a ball chosen at random.We return it to the urn and add one more of the color chosen. Let X be the fraction of red balls at time n. Show that Xn is a martingale with respect to the filtration (X0,Xi, ,Xn). At time n there are nk balls,...
5. Polya's Urn +R • Begin with an urn containing W white balls and R red balls. Hence, N =W total balls. • Draw a random ball from the urn, check its color, and return it to the urn with another ball of the same color. • Now there are N + 1 balls in the urn. Draw 1 at random, check its color, and return it with another ball of the same color. . Now there are N +...
Urn 1 contains 3 red and 6 blue balls, and urn 2 contains 4 red and 3 blue balls. The urns are equally likely to be chosen. a) If a blue ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 1? b) If a red ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 2?
An urn contains 2 balls that are either red or blue. At each step a ball is randomly drawn and replaced with a new ball, having the same color w.p. 4/5, or different color w.p. 1/5. Find the probability that the 5th ball drawn is red, if you start with 2 red balls in the urn. Please explain step by step how the transition probability matrix is formed.
In an urn, there are 3 blue balls and 2 red balls. A ball is selected at random without replacement. Regardless of what color the first ball was, a blue ball is added to the urn (so there are a total of 5 balls in the urn now). Then a second ball is selected from the urn. a) What is the chance that the second ball selected from the urn is blue? b) Given that the second ball is blue,...
