Probability

Suppose that there is a white urn containing three white balls and two red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and three red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. The probability that the second ball is red is...?

    All work must be shown 19. An urn contains 30 balls identical in every respect except color. There are 15 red balls, 7 green balls, and 8 blue balls. You draw two balls from the urn (without replacing the first ball before drawing the second). Find the probability that the first ball is green and the second is blue. Express your answer as a decimal.

    An urn initially contains r red balls and s black balls. A ball is selected at random but not removed and a balls of the same color as the selection are added to the urn. The process is then repeated with a balls of one color or the other added to the urn at each epoch. With each addition the population of the urn increases by a and it is helpful to imagine that the (a) What is the probability...

    Suppose that there are 2 red balls, 1 blue ball, and 2 white balls in an urn. A ball is drawn and its color is noted. After the ball is drawn, it is set aside and is replaced with a blue ball. Another ball is then drawn from the urn. Find the probability the first ball drawn was red given that the second ball drawn was blue.
