A ball is selected from an box containing two black balls, numbered 1 and 2, and...
Two balls are drawn, without replacement, from a bag containing 13 red balls numbered 1−13 and 4 white balls numbered 14−17. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that the second ball is red, given that the first ball is white? (b) What is the probability that both balls are even-numbered? (c) What is the probability that the first ball is red and even-numbered and the second ball is even-numbered?
An urn contains four balls numbered 6, 10, 14 and 210. A ball is selected at random. Let A be the event the ball is divisible by 3; B the event it is divisible by 5; C the event it is divisible by 7. Show that A and B are independent events, B and C are independent events and A and C are independent events. Are A, B and C independent events?
A ball is drawn from a bag containing 13 red balls numbered 1-13 and 3 white balls numbered 14-16. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that the ball is not even-numbered? (b) What is the probability that the ball is red and even-numbered? (c) What is the probability that the ball is red or even-numbered? (d) What is the probability that the ball is neither red nor even-numbered?
5) Box 1 contains w white balls and b black balls. Box 2 contains w white balls and b black balls. We take one ball from Box 1 and place it into Box 2. Then we take a ball from Box 2 and place it into Box 1. Finally we take a ball from Box 1. Compute the probability that this ball is black 6) Assume that we have n boxes and each one of them contains k white balls...
If white balls have a mass of 5.0 grams and black balls have a mass of 2.0 grams, in a box containing white and black balls with 23 of the balls being white, what is the average mass of a single ball in this box?
5) Box 1 contains w white balls and b black balls. Box 2 contais white balls and b2 black balls. We take one ball from Box 1 and place it into Box 2. Then we take a ball from Box 2 and place it into Box 1. Finally we take a ball from Box 1. Compute the probability that this ball is black.
2. A box contains 4 white and 6 black balls. A random sample of size 4 is chosen. Let X denote the number of white balls in the sample. An additional ball is now selected from the remaining 6 balls in the box. Let Y equal 1 if this ball is white and 0 if it is black. Find (a) Var(Y|X=0). (b) Var(X)Y= 1).
We have 2 boxes, each containing 3 balls. Box number 1 contains one black and two white balls; box number 2 contains two black and one white ball. Our friend chooses one of the boxes at random, probability of choosing box number 1 is p. Then he takes one ball from a chosen box (each of three balls can be taken chosen equally likely), and it turns out to be white. We are going to find MAP estimate for the...
There are 3 black and 4 white balls in a box. One ball is taken out at random. If it is black, then two white balls are put back in the box. If it is white, then one black ball is put back in the box. After that procedure another ball is taken out of the box. What is the probability that the first ball taken was white is the second ball taken was white?
2. An urn contains six white balls and four black balls. Two balls are randomly selected from the urn. Let X represent the number of black balls selected. (a) Identify the probability distribution of X. State the values of the parameters corresponding to this distribution (b) Compute P(X = 0), P(X= 1), and P(X= 2). (c) Consider a game of chance where you randomly select two balls from the urn. You then win $2 for every black ball selected and...
