You play the following game against your friend. You have two urns and three balls. One of the balls is marked. You get to place the balls in the two urns any way you please, including leaving one urn empty. Your friend will choose one urn at random and then draw a ball from that urn. (If he chose an empty urn, there is no ball.) His goal is to draw the marked ball. How would you arrange the balls...

A room contains several urns. 13 urns contain two gold balls. 9 urns contain one gold ball and one silver ball. 40 urns contain two silver balls. You choose an urn at random and then draw two balls from the urn. If the first ball you draw is gold, what is the probability that the second ball you draw is gold? Answer: 0.7429

One of two urns is chosen at random with one just as likely to be chosen as the other. Then a ball is withdrawn from the chosen urn. Urn 1 contains 3 white and 2 red balls, and urn 2 has 1 white and 5 red balls. If a white ball is drawn, what is the probability that it came from urn 1?

A sequential experiment involves repeatedly drawing a ball from one of two urns, noting the number on the ball, and replacing the ball in its urn. Urn 0 contains a ball with the number 1 and a ball with the number 0, and urn 1 contains 2 balls with the number 1 and one ball with the number 0.The urn from which the first draw is made is selected at random by flipping a fair coin. Urn 0 is used...

Two containers hold several balls. Once a second, one of the balls is chosen at random and switched to the other container. After a long time has passed, you record the number of balls in each container every second. In 10,000 s, you find 80 times when all the balls were in one container (either one) and the other container was empty. Part A How many balls are there? Express your answer as an integer. Part B What is the...

An urn contains five blue, six green and seven red balls. You choose five balls at random from the urn, without replacement (so you do not put a ball back in the urn after you pick it), what is the probability that you chose at least one ball of each color?(Hint: Consider the events: B, G, and R, denoting respectively that there are no blue, no green and no red balls chosen.)
