A jar contains 6 white beads and 3 black beads. Beads are chosen randomly from the jar one at a time until the third time a black bead turns up. a. Suppose that each bead is replaced before the next is chosen. How many beads should you expect to be chosen in the course of the experiment? [5] b. Suppose that if a bead is white, it is not replaced before the next bead is chosen, but if it is...

2) A bag contains 10 beads. Six are black and 4 are white. ( i ) Three beads are selected from this bag at random, without replacement. What is the probability that precisely two of the beads are white? ( ii ) Three beads are selected from this bag, one at a time. After each bead is selected, its color is noted and it is replaced in the bag. What is the probability that precisely two of the beads are...
3. There are 6 white beads and 5 black beads in your pocket. You randomly pull the beads one by one out of your pocket and place them on a table. Let be the probability that the third bead drawn is the first white bead, where a and b are coprime positive integers. What is the value of a + b?
1. A jar contains 3 black and 2 white marbles. We continue to draw marbles one at a time until two black marbles are drawn. If a white marble is drawn, the outcome is recorded, and the marble is put back in the jar before drawing the next marble. What is the probability that we will get exactly two black marbles in at most three tries? Do this problem using a tree diagram! (2 marks)
An urn contains 10 white and 6 black balls. Balls are randomly selected, one at a time, until a black one is obtained. If we assume that each ball selected is replaced before the next one is drawn, what is the probability that a) exactly 5 draws are needed? b) at least 3 draws are needed?
An urn contains M white and N black balls. Balls are randomly selected, one at a time, until a black one is obtained. If we assume that each ball selected is replaced before the next one is drawn, what is the probability that a) exactly x draws are needed? b) at least k draws are needed?
(10) Suppose a drawer contains 5 black socks and 3 white socks. Socks are selected one at a time without replacement until 2 black socks are found. Let X be the number of socks selected. The probability function f(1) = P(X = 2) for X is given by: 1 2 3 4 5 f(x) 0.357 0.357 0.214 0.072 (a) (2) Justify in one sentence why the range of X is 2-5 as given above. (b) (2) Prove why f(2) =...
