Six balls are to be randomly chosen from an urn containing 8 red, 10 green, and 12 blue balls.

(a) What is the probability at least one red ball is chosen?

(b) Given that no red balls are chosen, what is the conditional probability that there are exactly 2 green balls among the 6 chosen?

Short Answer

Expert verified

P(R)=2472228275and

P(B|A)=6752261

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Urn contains 8 Red, 10 Green and 12 Blue.

6 balls are selected at random.

02

Part(a)

Let Abe the event that atleast one red ball is chosen. Thus,

P(A)=1-P(A)=1-226306⇒P(A)=2472228275

03

Part(b)

Let Bbe the event that exactly 2 green balls are chosen. Therefore,

P(B|A)=102124226=6752261

There is a 60percent chance that event Awill occur. If Adoes not occur, then there is a 10percent chance that Bwill occur. What is the probability that at least one of the events AorBwill occur?

A red die, a blue die, and a yellow die (all six sided) are rolled. We are interested in the probability that the number appearing on the blue die is less than that appearing on the yellow die, which is less than that appearing on the red die. That is, with B, Y, and R denoting, respectively, the number appearing on the blue, yellow, and red die, we are interested in P(B < Y < R).

(a) What is the probability that no two of the dice land on the same number?

(b) Given that no two of the dice land on the same number, what is the conditional probability that B < Y < R?

(c) What is P(B < Y < R)?

A ball is in any one of nboxes and is in the ith box with probability Pi. If the ball is in box i, a search of that box will uncover it with probability αi. Show that the conditional probability that the ball is in box j, given that a search of box idid not uncover it, is

Pj1-αiPiifj≠i

1-αiPi1-αiPiifj=i

Each of 2 cabinets identical in appearance has 2 drawers. Cabinet A contains a silver coin in each drawer, and cabinet B contains a silver coin in one of its drawers and a gold coin in the other. A cabinet is randomly selected, one of its drawers is opened, and a silver coin is found. What is the probability that there is a silver coin in the other drawer?
