An urn has 3 red balls, 4 white balls and 2 black balls. Each red ball is worth $2 and and each black ball is worth −$3 (note the negative sign). White balls have no value. You draw four balls at random from the urn.
(a) What is the size of the sample space?
(b) What is the probability that the total value of the four balls is $3?

Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing three white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red. The probability of the second ball being...

An urn initially contains r red balls and s black balls. A ball is selected at random but not removed and a balls of the same color as the selection are added to the urn. The process is then repeated with a balls of one color or the other added to the urn at each epoch. With each addition the population of the urn increases by a and it is helpful to imagine that the (a) What is the probability...

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.)
