The probability of drawing a white ball is
.
a)
A wins in the following ways,
-A draws a white ball with probability
-A,B,C all do not draw a white ball and then A draws a white
ball with probability
-on the 7-th draw with probability
-on the 10-th draw with probability
and so on,
The probability that A wins is the sum of all the above probabilities,
b)
B wins in the following ways,
-A does not draw a white ball and B draws a white ball with
probability
-A,B,C,A all do not draw a white ball and then A draws a white
ball with probability
-on the 8-th draw with probability
-on the 11-th draw with probability
and so on,
The probability that B wins is the sum of all the above probabilities,
An urn contains 10 balls, 3 of which are white. Three players - A, B, and...
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...
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...
Urn A contains seven white balls and four black balls. Urn B contains six white balls and three 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.)
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?
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.
Suppose that an urn contains 10 red balls and 4 white balls. Supposed 3 balls are drawn one by one from the urn. What is the probability of getting one red ball and two white balls? Show all work! a) Assume the balls are drawn with replacement. b) Assume the balls are drawn without replacement.
Three balls are randomly drawn from an urn that contains four white and seven red balls. (a) What is the probability of drawing a red ball on the third draw? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) (b) What is the probability of drawing a red ball on the third draw given that at least one red ball was drawn on the first two draws? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
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...
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...
An urn contains 10 white and 6 black balls. Balls are randomly selected, one at a time, until a black one is obtained. If we assume that each ball selected is replaced before the next one is drawn, what is the probability that a) exactly 5 draws are needed? b) at least 3 draws are needed?
