There are 3 white, 3 red and 5 black balls in a box. By chance, three balls are taken out from the box. The person wins 1 dollar when taking out a white ball but loses 1 dollar when taking out a red ball. X is an event, describing the amount of money that was won (lost) in one try. What values does X have and what are the probabilities of those values? What is the probability that the money will be won, i.e. P(X>=1)?
Homework Answers
probability that the money will be won P(X>=1)=P(1 white and 2 black balls)+P(2 white and 1 black balls)+P(2 white and 1 black ball)+P(3 white balls=3C1*5C2/11C3+3C2*3C1/11C3+3C2*5C1/11C3+3C3/11C3 =55/165 =1/3

There are 3 black and 4 white balls in a box. One ball is taken out at random. If it is black, then two white balls are put back in the box. If it is white, then one black ball is put back in the box. After that procedure another ball is taken out of the box. What is the probability that the first ball taken was white is the second ball taken was white?
