If Tom has 40 apples( 20 red and 20 black) along with 2 boxes

(A) suppose tom put an equal number of red and black in each box. what is the probability that you pick a read apple if you select one box then select an apple from the box

(B) how can you distributed the apples to maximize the probability of selecting a red apple if box is selected at random and an apple is drawn at random

Suppose an urn contains 100 marbles, 80 red and 20 black. A marble is drawn at random from the urn and you are asked to guess what color you believe the marble to be. The marble is then shown, replaced, and the urn's contents again randomized. The aim is to maximize the number of correct guesses. Before reading any further, what strategy would you employ? What would you guess? Assume that 5 red marbles come out in a row. What...

Suppose you have an urn with 20 balls including 10 red, 6 white and 4 black. We randomly select 5 balls with replacement. What is the probability that at least one of the 5 selected balls is red ? Select one: a. 0.031250 b. 0.968750 c. 0.000320 d. 0.500000 e. 0.999680

Urn A has 1 red and 2 black balls. Urn B has 2 red and 1 black ball. It is common knowledge that nature chooses both urns with equal probability, so P(A)=0.5 and P(B)=0.5. A sequence of six balls is drawn with replacement from one of the urns. Experimental subjects do not know which urn the balls are drawn from. Let x denote the number of red balls that come up in the sample of 6 balls, x=0,1,2,...,6. Suppose that...

Suppose you have a box with 10 red balls, 4 green balls, and 6 blue balls. Answer the following questions. Think about the questions below. They look similar, but how are they different? a) You randomly select two balls from the box. What is the probability of selecting two red balls? b) Suppose you are asked to draw a ball, return whatever you picked, and draw another ball. This is called sampling with replacement. What is the probability of selecting...

60 marbles in a jar, of which 20 are red, 40 are white using binomial distribution method; a) what is the probability that the fifth marble selected would be red? b) what is the binomial probability that you would NOT select exactly 4 red marbles? (BEST THREE decimal places w/calculations. ) c) determine the binomial probability that you would select less than five red marbles to the best three decimal places. SHOW THE DETAILS of calculations. d) Please determine the...

Suppose you have five marbles in a bag, three green (G1, G2, G3) and two red (R1 and R2). You conduct an experiment where you continue to select colored marbles one at a time at random from the bag. You stop selecting marbles when you select a red marble. Without replacement. Display the possible outcomes in a tree diagram. Let x denote the discrete random variable that represents the total number of green marbles that can be selected before a...

A box has 4 blue marbles and 3 red marbles. A marble is drawn randomly from the box and its colour was recorded. It is then put into the box. After that, another marble is drawn randomly and its colour was recorded. Calculate the probability both marbles are the same colour. The blood groups of 200 people are distributed as follows: 50 have type A blood, 65 have B blood type, 70 have O blood type and 15 have type...

box contains 3 white, 2 red, and 4 black marbles. One marble is chosen at random, and it is not black. Find the probability that it is white. (Enter your answer as a fraction.) You will take either a basket-weaving course or a philosophy course, depending on what your advisor decides. You estimate that the probability of getting an A in basket weaving is 0.80, while in philosophy it is 0.60. However, the chances of your advisor choosing the basket-weaving...

An American roulette wheel contains 38 numbers: 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green. When the roulette wheel is spun, the ball is equally likely to land on any of the 38 numbers. Suppose that you bet $1 on red. If the ball lands on a red number, you win $1; otherwise you lose your $1. Let X be the amount you win on your $1 bet. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable X .
