A magic bag contains infinitely many balls labeled 1 to n with each ball being equally likely to be drawn from the bag. There are also n boxes labeled 1 to n. Suppose you fill the boxes by choosing a random ball from the magic bag. A match occurs when the ball labeled i is placed in the box labeled i. For an arbitrary k in {0,1,...,n} what is the probability that you have k matches? What is the probability...

You play the following game against your friend. You have 2 urns and 4 balls One of the balls is black and the other 3 are white. You can place the balls in the urns any way that you'd like, including leaving an urn empty. Your friend will choose one urn at random and then draw a ball from that urn. ( If he chooses an empty urn, he draws nothing.) She wins if she draws the black ball and...

In the pool, there are 8 white balls numbered 1 to 8 and 4 black balls numbered 1 to 4. We draw 3 balls without returning them to the pool. What is the probability that: (a) there is (exactly) 1 black ball among the drawn balls? (b) all drawn balls have even numbers?

Suppose 5 distinct balls are distributed into 3 distinct boxes such that each of the 5 balls can get into any of the 3 boxes. 1) What is the Probability that box 1 has exactly two balls and the remaining balls are in the other two boxes. 2) What is the probability that there is exactly one empty box?

Suppose that an urn contains 8 red balls and 4 white balls. We draw 2 balls from the urn without replacement. Now suppose that the balls have different weights, with each red ball having weight r and each white ball having weight w. Suppose that the probability that a given ball in the urn is the next one selected is its weight divided by the sum of the weights of all balls currently in the urn. Now what is the...

Suppose you have a big vat of balls and that 60% of the balls are green and 40% of the balls are red. Suppose you randomly select a ball, record the color, then put the ball back, and repeat the process. a) What is the probability that the first red ball you encounter will be the sixth ball you pull from the vat? Clearly state which probability distribution’s PMF you are using to perform this calculation as well as which...

You have a total of 16 balls, 3 blue, 4 green, and 9 red. You also have 3 urns. You put each of the 16 balls in an urn selected at random. (a) What is the probability that no urn is empty? (b) What is the probability that each urn contains 3 red balls?

9 different balls are distributed to 4 different boxes, where each box can contain at most one ball. Empty boxes are allowed, that it is possible that only one box has one ball, but the other boxes don’t have any balls. Find the possible number of ways for the distribution.

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: If the second ball selected is green, what is the probability that the first one was red?
