one bag contains 4 white balls and 3 black balls, and a second bag contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls . we first toss a fair coin .if it is head , one ball is drawn from the first bag and placed in the second bag.if it is a tail , one ball is drawn from the second bag and placed in the first bag.let the event A be that a ball is now drawn from the second bag is black .find out p(A)
P(A) = n(E)/n(S)
Where P(A) is the probability of an event A
n(E) is the number of favorable outcomes
n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.
probability of getting the second bag(tail) = 1/2
probability of getting black ball from second bag = 5/8
P(A) = (1/2)*(5/8) = 5/16 = 0.3125
The probability of event A is 0.3125.

Two bags contain a number of balls. Bag A contains 4 white and 3 black balls and bag B contains 3 whit and 5 black balls. A ball is chosen at random from bag A and placed into bag B i). Given that the first ball was black, what is the probability that a second ball drawn from bag A will be white? (1 mark) Given no knowledge of the color of the first ball, what is the probability that...
One bag contains 4 white and 2 black balls. Another contains 3white and 5 black balls. One ball is drawn from each bag. Find theprobability that both are of same colour.
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?
A bag contains 4 white and 3 black balls. Four players (A,B,C, and D) agree to take turns drawing balls from this bag(without replacement) until a white ball is drawn. If the first player (A) draws a white ball, he gets $56. If he draws a black ball, he must pay $28 into the pot. the game continues until a white ball is drawn. Find the expected value to each of the 4 players, assuming each player initially pays in...
If a bag contains: 5 White Balls, 6 Red Balls, and 9 Black Balls, what is the probability of pulling out: a. A black or white ball b. A white ball c. A white ball and then a black ball without replacement? d. A white ball and then a black ball with replacement?
asic Statistics Bag 1 contains 5 red balls and 3 black balls. Bag 2 contains a red balls and 1 black ball. Bag 3 contains 4 red balls and 2 black balls. If a bag is selected at random and a ball is drawn, find the probability it will be red (5 marks)
Suppose one basket has five white balls and seven black balls. A second basket has three white balls and twelve black balls. We will flip a fair coin and if it lands “heads” a ball from basket 1 is selected, and if it lands “tails” a ball from basket 2 is selected. Suppose that we have done this and that a white ball was selected, what is the probability that the coin landed tails?

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...
