2. Consider an urn that contains red and green balls. At time 0 there are k balls with at least one ball of each color. At time n we draw out a ball chosen at random.We return it to the urn and add o...
(b) At time n = 0, an urn contains 2m balls, of which m are red and m are blue. At each time n = 1, ..., 2m, a single ball is randomly selected and taken away with no replacement. Hence, at time n, the urn has 2m – n balls. Let Rn denotes the number of red balls remaining in the urn at time n. For n= 0,..., 2m – 1, let B Rn Pn = 2m - in...
1. An urn initially contains 6 red and 8 green balls. Each time a ball is selected, its color is recorded, and it is replaced in the urn along with 2 other balls of the same color. Compute the probability that: (a) The first 2 balls selected are green and the next 2 are red? (b) Of the first 4 balls selected, exactly 2 are green? (c) If the second ball selected is green, what is the probability that the...
Urn A contains 5 green and 3 red balls, and urn B contains 2 green and 6 red balls. One ball is drawn from urn A and transferred to Urn b. Then one ball is drawn from urn B and transferred to urn A. Let X=the number of green balls in urn A after this process. List the possible values for X and then find the entire probability distribution for X.
An urn contains 5 red balls, 4 green balls, and 2 yellow balls. Draw 3 balls with replacement (draw a ball, record the color, and put ball back before drwing again). What is the probability that your draw (a) consists of all red balls? (b) consists of all the same color? (c) consists of all different colors? (d) consists of at least one green ball? (e) consists of exactly two green balls and one red ball?
(a) (2 pts) An urn contains 3 red and 5 green balls. At each step of this game, we pick one ball at random, note its color and return the ball to the urn together with anoter ball of the same color. Prove by induction that the probability that the ball we pick a red ball at the n-th step is 3/8.

Suppose we have two urns (a left urn and a right urn). The left urn contains N black balls and the right urn contains N red balls. Every time step you take one ball (chosen randomly) from each urn, swap the balls, and place them back in the urns. Let Xm be the number of black balls in the left urn after m time steps. Find the Markov chain model and find the unique stationary distribution when N=5
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...
2. An urn contains two green balls and three red balls. Suppose two balls will be drawn at random one after another and without replacement (i.e., the first ball is not returned to the urn before the second one is drawn). (a) Find the probabilities of the events A-I A green ball appears in the irst draw (Note, in event B, the first draw is supposed unknown, for example, after the first draw,you do not look at what color the...
