Each of k jars contains m white and n black balls. A ball is randomly chosen from jar 1 and transferred to jar 2, then a ball is randomly chosen from jar 2 transferred to jar 3, etc. Finally, a ball is randomly chosen from jar k. Show that the probability that the last ball is white is the same as the probability that the first ball is white, i.e., it is m/(m+n) .
(Hint: Prove the result for K=2 and then use induction argument

Write short programs to simulate problem 16 and 22. For problem 22, use k=5, m=10, n=5. In Python Problem 16 We are given three coins: one has heads in both faces, the second has tails in both faces, and the third has a head in one face and a tail in the other. We choose a coin at random, toss it, and the result is heads. What is the probability that the opposite face is tails? Problem 22 Each of...

An urn contains M white and N 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 x draws are needed? b) at least k draws are needed?

2. A box contains 5 red balls, 7 white balls, and 8 black balls. Four balls are randomly chosen (without replace- ment). What is the probability that (a) 1 red ball, 2 white balls, and 1 black ball are chosen? (b) exactly two red balls are chosen? (c) the first chosen is black, the last three chosen are two white balls and one black ball?

5) Box 1 contains w white balls and b black balls. Box 2 contains w white balls and b black balls. We take one ball from Box 1 and place it into Box 2. Then we take a ball from Box 2 and place it into Box 1. Finally we take a ball from Box 1. Compute the probability that this ball is black 6) Assume that we have n boxes and each one of them contains k white balls...

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.)
