In the pitcher are balls of different colors.
The probability of accidentally taking a red-ball
out of the pitcher is p: (0<p<1).
A. Remove from the pitcher, incidentally and with the
possibility of return, six balls.
The probability that exactly one red ball came out is four
times greater than the probability that no red balls came
out at all.
1. Find the p value.
2. What is the probability that only the first, third, and fifth
balls will be red?
B. Now they decided to take balls out of the pitcher, accidentally and with the possibility of return, until the first red ball came out
1. What is the probability of getting exactly five balls out of
the pitcher?
2. What is the expectation of the number of non-red balls coming
out of the pitcher?
C. Yoav decided to take balls out of the jug, accidentally and
with the option of returning, until he removed 4 red balls (not
necessarily in succession).
What is the probability that he will get exactly 9 balls?
