There are two bags A and B. A contains n white and 2 black balls. B contains 2 white and n black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it without replacement. If both the balls drawn are white and the probability that the bag A was used to draw the balls is 6/7. Find the value of n.

There are two bags of balls. There are 60 white balls and 40 black balls in the first bag. The second bag contains 70 white balls and 30 black balls. Randomly choose one bag and then randomly get one ball from that bag. If you get a black ball, throw a coin and if the coin lands head, report black otherwise report white. If you get a white ball, report white ball. If we get a report of a black...

q1)Suppose that we have two bags each containing black and white balls. One bag contains two times as many white balls as black balls. The other bag contains two times as many black balls as white. Suppose we choose one of these bags at random. For this bag we select five balls at random, replacing each ball after it has been selected. The result is that we find all balls are white balls. What is the probability that we were...

An urn contains 1 white, 2 black, 3 red, and 4 green balls. If 6 balls are selected randomly (without replacement) and X represents the number of selections that are either red or green, find: (a) the probability mass function for X. (b) the expected value of X (calculate this value directly by using the probability mass function from part a).

An urn has 12 balls. 8 are white balls and 4 are black balls. If we draw a sample of 3 balls (i.e., picking without replacement) and given that the first two balls selected were a black ball and a white ball, what is the conditional probability of the third ball drawn being white?
