An urn contains 2 balls that are either red or blue. At each step a ball is randomly drawn and replaced with a new ball, having the same color w.p. 4/5, or different color w.p. 1/5. Find the probability that the 5th ball drawn is red, if you start with 2 red balls in the urn.
Please explain step by step how the transition probability matrix is formed.

Urn 1 contains 3 red and 6 blue balls, and urn 2 contains 4 red and 3 blue balls. The urns are equally likely to be chosen. a) If a blue ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 1? b) If a red ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 2?

Suppose that there are 2 red balls, 1 blue ball, and 2 white balls in an urn. A ball is drawn and its color is noted. After the ball is drawn, it is set aside and is replaced with a blue ball. Another ball is then drawn from the urn. Find the probability the first ball drawn was red given that the second ball drawn was blue.

Exercise 3 (SOA type). Urn I contains 10 balls: 4 red and 6 blue. Urn II contains 16 red balls and an unknown number of blue balls. A single ball is drawn from each urn. The probability that both balls are the same color is 0.44. What is the number of blue balls in urn II?

Urn A contains two red balls and eight blue balls. Urn B contains two red balls and ten green balls. Six balls are drawn from urn A and four are drawn from urn B; in each case, each ball is replaced before the next one is drawn. What is the most likely number of blue balls to be drawn? What is the most likely number of green balls to be drawn?
