Problem 3: An urn contains 17 balls marked LOSE and 3 balls marked WIN. You and an opponent take turns selecting a single ball at random from the urn without replacement. The person who selects the third WIN ball wins the game. It does not matter who selected the first two WIN balls.
(c) If you draw first, what is the probability that you win? Hint: You could win on your second, third, fourth, . . . , or tenth draw, but not on your first.
(d) Would you prefer to draw first or second? Why?

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...

An urn contains 3 red balls and 7 yellow balls. Suppose we select two balls from the urn without replacement. A. Referring to no replacement, find the probability that one ball is red and one ball is yellow B. Referring to no replacement, find the probability that the first ball is yellow or the second ball is yellow

2. An urn contains six white balls and four black balls. Two balls are randomly selected from the urn. Let X represent the number of black balls selected. (a) Identify the probability distribution of X. State the values of the parameters corresponding to this distribution (b) Compute P(X = 0), P(X= 1), and P(X= 2). (c) Consider a game of chance where you randomly select two balls from the urn. You then win $2 for every black ball selected and...
