Three boxes each contain a number of billiard balls. One box
contains only even-numbered balls, one box contains only odd
numbered billiard balls, and the third box contains a mixture of
odd and even numbered balls. All the boxes are mislabeled. By
selecting one ball from only one of the boxes, can you correctly
label the three boxes?
Explain why or why not.

Question 29 (4 points) Two boxes each contain five numbered balls: • Box 1 contains balls with numbers 3, 3, 3, 4, 5 • Box 2 contains balls with numbers 1, 1, 2, 2, 2 (a) You will randomly select one ball from each box. Let X be the difference between the numbers selected from the first and second box. Find the probability distribution of X. You can simply list the probabilities for each possible value of X instead of...
We have 2 boxes, each containing 3 balls. Box number 1 contains one black and two white balls; box number 2 contains two black and one white ball. Our friend chooses one of the boxes at random, probability of choosing box number 1 is p. Then he takes one ball from a chosen box (each of three balls can be taken chosen equally likely), and it turns out to be white. We are going to find MAP estimate for the...
Problem 2. We have 2 boxes, each containing 3 balls. Box number 1 contains one black and two white balls; box nber 2 contains two black and one white ba Our friend chooses one of the boxes at random, probability of choosing box number 1 is p. Then he takes one bal from a chosen box (each of three balls can be taken chosen equally likely), and it turns out to be white We are going to find MAP estimate...
5. Three balls are placed at random in three boxes, with no restriction on the number of balls per box. (a) List the 27 equally probable outcomes of this experiment. Be sure to explain your notation. (b) Find the probability of each of the following events: A: "the first box is empty" B: "the first two boxes are empty". C: "no box contains more than one ball". (c) Find the probabilities of events A, B and C when three balls...
Question 5 A box contains balls numbered 1, .,.,a. A ball is drawn at random: (a) What is the probability that its label number is divisible by 3 or 4? (b) What is the probability in (a) as noo?
b) You have three boxes. In the first box, there are 4 white balls and 2 red balls. In the second box, there are only 10 red balls and in the third box, there are 10 red balls and 5 white balls. A red ball is extracted blindly from a box chosen at random, but you don’t know from which box the ball was extracted What is the probability that the first box was chosen? What is the probability that...
1. One box contains seven red balls and three green balls, and a second box contains six red balls and four green balls. A ball is randomly selected chosen from the first box and placed in the second box. Then a ball is randomly selected from the second box and placed in the first box. a. What is the probability that a red ball is selected from the first box and a red ball is selected from the second box?...
1 One box contains seven red balls and three green balls, and a second box contains six red balls and four green balls. A ball is randomly selected chosen from the first box and placed in the second box. Then a ball is randomly selected from the second box and placed in the first box. a. What is the probability that a red ball is selected from the first box and a red ball is selected from the second box?...
(25) A game has two boxes as follows: Box A initially contains 2 white balls Box B initially contains 3 red balls. At each step in the game, 1 ball is selected at random from each box and the 2 balls are interchanged. Thus, Box A always contains 2 balls, and Box B always contains 3 balls. The game continues indefinitely. The game may be described by a Markov chain having three states: S0,S1,S2, whose subscript denotes the number of...
There are balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in a box, 2 balls are drawn in succession at random without replacement, and the number on each ball is noted. What is the probability that exactly one ball has an even number? (A) 3/14 (B) 2/7 (C) 3/7 (D) 12/49 (E) 4/7
