Solution
Total number of balls n(T) = 6
Number of blue balls = n(B)=4
Number of white balls = n(W) = 2
P(selecting white ball ) = n(W)/n(T)
= 2/6 = 1/3
Hence answer is B. 1/3

4. An urn contains 5 blue balls, 3 green balls, and 7 white balls. (a) A ball is selected from the urn. What are the odds the ball is green? (2 Two balls are selected without replacement. What are the odds the balls are blue and green? (c) Two balls are selected without replacement. What are the odds at least one is blue or at least one is green? (d) Two balls are selected without replacement. What are the odds...
An urn contains 4 white balls and 6 red balls. A second urn contains 6 white balls and 4 red balls. An urn is selected, and the probability of selecting the first urn is 0.8. A ball is drawn from the selected urn and replaced. Then another ball is drawn and replaced from the same urn. If both balls are white, what are the following probabilities? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) the probability that the urn selected...
5. Suppose that the first urn contains 3 blue balls, 2 green balls and 2 white balls the second urn contains 2 blue balls 3 green balls and 4 white balls. Take out one ball from each urn. (1) Find the probability that at least one blue ball. (2) Find the probability that one blue and one white. I(3) Given at least one ball is blue, ind the probability that one blue and one white. 5. Suppose that the first...
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?
Urn "A" contains 5 white balls and 4 black balls, whereas urn B contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from urn "B" and placed in urn "A". A ball is then drawn from urn "A". It happens to be black. What is the probability that the ball transferred was black?
There are 4 white balls and 6 red balls in an urn. a. Two balls are selected from the urn without replacement, what is the probability of getting 1 white ball in the first selection and 1 red ball in the second selection? b. If the selection is with replacement, what is the probability of getting 1 white ball in the first selection and 1 red ball in the second selection?
Urn I contains 5 white balls and 5 black balls. Urn II contains 7 white balls and 3 black balls. Under which of the following plans is the probability of getting two white balls the greatest? (a) Draw one ball from each urn. (b) Draw two balls from Urn I. (c) Put all 20 balls in one urn and then draw two.
Consider 3 urns. The urn A contains 5 white balls and 10 red balls, the urn B contains 9 white balls and 6 red balls and the urn C contains 4 white balls and 9 red balls. A ball is selected from ballot box 1 and placed in ballot box 2, then one ball is taken from ballot box 2 and placed in ballot box 3. Finally, a ball is taken from ballot box 3. What is the probability that...
Urn A contains four white balls and six black balls. Urn B contains three white balls and seven black balls. A ball is drawn from Urn A and then transferred to Urn B. A ball is then drawn from Urn B. What is the probability that the transferred ball was black given that the second ball drawn was black? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) n transferred to Urn A contains four white halls and six hlack balls. Urn...
3. Suppose there are 2 urns such that the first urn contains a white balls and b black balls and the second urn contains c white balls and d black balls. Flip a coin whose probability of landing heads is p and select a ball from the first urn if the outcome is heads and from the second if the outcome is tails. What is a value for p for which the probability that the outcome was heads given that...
