•There are two colored marbles and one white marble in a box. Gwen mixes the marbles, and Arthur draws two marbles at random without replacement. If the two marbles match, Arthur wins; otherwise, Gwen wins. Does each player have an equal chance of winning?
Homework Answers
Arthur takes out two marbles without replacement here. Note that there are only 3 marbles here out of which 2 are drawn. Arthur could only win if both the coloured marbles and taken out, otherwise Gwen wins.
The probability of Arthur winning is computed here as:
= Number of ways to select 2 coloured marbles form 2 coloured
marbles / Total number of ways to select 2 marbles from 3
marbles
Therefore P(arthur wins) = 1/3 and thus P(Gwen wins) = 2/3
Therefore they clearly dont have an equal chance of winning.

You have two boxes filled with colored marbles. The first box has 3 red marbles and 5 green. The second box has 2 red marbles and 4 green. You shuffle the marbles really well and without looking pull a marble out of the first box and place it into the second box. Then, again, without looking, you draw a marble from the second box. What is the probability of drawing a red marble from the second box?

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...
