An urn has n − 3 green balls and 3 red balls. Draw balls with replacement. Let B denote the event that a red ball is seen at least once. Find P(B) using the following methods
.(a) Use inclusion-exclusion with the events Ai = {ith draw is red}. Hint. Use the general inclusion-exclusion formula from Fact 1.26 and the binomial theorem from Fact D.2.
(b) Decompose the event by considering the events of seeing a red ball exactly k times, with k = 1, 2,..., .
(c) Compute the probability by considering the complement Bc.
