Four marbles are drawn simultaneously and at random from an urn containing 8 black, 7 white, and 5 red marbles.

What is the probability that at least one of them is white?

Solutions

Expert Solution

P(at least one is white) = (7C1 * 13C3 + 7C2 * 12C2 + 7C3 * 12C1 + 7C4)/20C4

= (7!/(1! * 6!) * 13!/(3! * 10!) + 7!/(2! * 5!) * 12!/(2! * 10!) + 7!/(3! * 4!) * 12!/(1! * 11!) + 7!(4! * 3!))/(20!/(4! * 16!) = 0.7932

A bag initially contained 4 white marbles and 9 black marbles. A marble was drawn and replaced by two marbles of the opposite colour. Then another marble was drawn and also replaced by two marbles of the opposite color. A third marble was then drawn. Find the probability that the first marble drawn was white if: both the second and third marbles drawn were white.
