Urn 1 contains two white balls and one black ball, while urn 2 contains one white ball and five black balls. One ball is drawn at random from urn 1 and placed in urn 2. A ball is then drawn from urn 2. It happens to be white. What is the probability that the transferred ball was white?
A fair coin is continually flipped. What is the probability that the first four flips are (a) \(H, H, H, H ?\) (b) \(T, H, H, H ?\) (c) What is the probability that the pattern \(T, H, H, H\) occurs before the pattern \(\boldsymbol{H}, \boldsymbol{H}, \boldsymbol{H}, \boldsymbol{H} ?\)
A box contains three marbles: one red, one green, and one blue. Consider an experiment that consists of taking one marbie from the box then replacing it in the box and drawing a second marble from the box. What is the sample space? If, at all times, each marble in the box is equally likely to be selected, what is the probability of each point in the sample space?
In a certain species of rats, black dominates over brown. Suppose that a black rat with two black parents has a brown sibling. (a) What is the probability that this rat is a pure black rat (as opposed to being a hybrid with one black and one brown gene)? (b) Suppose that when the black rat is mated with a brown rat, all five of their offspring are black. Now, what is the probability that the rat is a pure black rat?
Urn 1 has five white and seven black balls. Urn 2 has three white and twelve black balls. We flip a fair coin. If the outcome is heads, then a ball from urn 1 is selected, while if the outcome is tails, then a ball from urn 2 is selected, Suppose that a white ball is selected. What is the probability that the coin landed tails?
