19. We have two boxes; there are m white balls and one black ball in the first box, and k white balls and one black ball in the second box. We randomly choose a box (each choice has the same probability) and then draw two balls simultaneously from the chosen box. Let X denote the number of black balls drawn, and Y denote the number of the box that was chosen. Find the correlation coefficient of variables X and Y .

Following are three boxes containing balls. Box #1 contains 2 black balls and 1 white ball. Box #2 contains 2 black balls and 2 white balls. Box #3 contains 1 black ball and 2 white ball. Draw a ball from Box 1 and place it in Box 2. Then draw a ball from Box 2 and place it in Box 3. Finally draw a ball from Box 3 . What is the possibility that the last ball drawn, from Box...

An urn contains two white and two black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white, it is not replaced into the urn, otherwise it is replaced with another ball of the same color. The process is repeated. Find the probability that the third ball drawn is black.
Suppose that we have two bags each containing black and white balls. One bag contains two...
Suppose that we have two bags each containing black and white balls. One bag contains two times as many white balls as black balls. The other bag contains two times as many black balls as white. Suppose we choose one of these bags at random. For this bag we select five balls at random, replacing each ball after it has been selected. The result is that we find all balls are white balls. What is the probability that we were...

possibility tree One box contains two black balls (labeled B1 and B2) and one white ball. A second box contains one black ball and two white balls (labeled W1 and W2). Suppose the following experiment is performed: One of the two boxes is chosen at random. Next a ball is randomly chosen from the box. Then a second ball is chosen at random from the same box without replacing the first ball. a. Construct the possibility tree showing all possible...

Suppose a bucket contains one white and one black ball. We pick out a ball equally likely at random and then put the ball back along with another of the same color. Then we repeat. What is the probability that the first time we pick a white ball is after the ith iteration?

An urn contains n white balls and m black balls. ( m and n are both positive numbers.) (a) If two balls are drawn without replacement , what is the probability that both balls are the same color? (b) If two balls are drawn with replacement (i.e., One ball is drawn and it’s color recorded and then put back. Then the second ball is drawn.) What is the probability that both balls are the same color. (c) Show that the...
