Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then​ (without replacing the first​ ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.

An urn contains 10 red balls and 5 green balls. Balls are randomly selected, one at a time, with replacement, until a red one is obtained. What is the probability that exactly k draws are needed? What is the probability that at least k draws are needed? Define a random variable associated with this experiment. Determine its probability mass function and cumulative distribution function, sketch their graphs. Find the expectation, variance and standard deviation of X.

Three boxes, one large, one medium, and one small, contain white and red balls. The large box, which is chosen half the time, contains fifteen white balls and eight red ones; the medium box, which is chosen three times out of ten, contains nine white balls and three red ones. The small box contains four white balls and five red ones. (a) On choosing two balls at random from the large box, what is the probability of (i) getting two...
