Problem 3. Consider a box with three blue and five red marbles. Suppose draws are made from the box with replacement until two red marbles are drawn. Let Y denote the number of draws required, and let X denote the number of draws it takes to obtain the first red marble. (1) Calculate P(X-s, Y t) for integers s and t, 1 3 (2) Use the above to find P(Y t). (3) Calculate P(X = sy-t) for 1 s < t. (4) Find the distribution of Y - X. s<t

    Suppose that a drawer contains 8 marbles: 2 are red, 2 are blue, 2 are green, and 2 are yellow. The marbles are rolling around in a drawer, so that all possibilities are equally likely when they are drawn. Alice chooses 2 marbles without replacement, and then Bob also chooses 2 marbles without replacement.

  • If we were to have a box of marbles containing 2 red, 2 black, 2 blue,...

    If we were to have a box of marbles containing 2 red, 2 black, 2 blue, and 2 yellow, and we drew out a marble, we would then have the choice of keeping the marble out or putting it back. Each choice affects the odds (probability) of subsequent draws differently. If we draw out a red marble and put it back, this is known as with replacement, and the odds of subsequent draws are the same is for the first...

    5. Three boxes are numbered 1, 2 and 3. For k 1, 2, 3, box k contains k blue marbles and 5 - k red marbles. In a two-step experiment, a box is selected and 2 marbles are drawn from it without replacement. If the probability of selecting box k is proportional to k, then the probability that two marbles drawn have different colours is 6. Two balls are.dropped in such a way that each ball is equally likely to...

    A box contains 10,000 marbles, of which some are red and the others blue. To estimate the percentage of red marbles in the box, 100 are drawn at random without replacement. Among the draws, 1 turns out to be red. The percentage of red marbles in the box is estimated as 1%, with an SE of 1%. True or false: a 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of red marbles in the box is 1% ± 2%. Explain.
