In an urn, there are 5 red balls, 5 green balls, 4 yellow balls, and 6 white balls. You are drawing balls without replacement.

a. When you draw the first ball, what is the probability that the ball will be white?

b. Let us assume that you have drawn two balls and both of them are green. What is the probability that the next ball drawn will be green?

c. Let us assume that the third ball drawn is also green like the first two balls. What is the probability that the fourth ball drawn is white?

d. Let us assume that a fourth ball is drawn, but the color is not revealed to you. What is the probability that the fifth ball drawn is white?

Urn A contains 5 green and 4 red balls, and Urn B contains 3 green and 6 red balls. One ball is drawn from Urn A and transferred to Urn B. Then one ball is drawn from Urn B and transferred to Urn A. Let X = the number of green balls in Urn A after this process. List the possible values for X and then find the entire probability distribution for X.

An urn contains 6 red balls and 4 green balls. Three balls are chosen randomly from the urn, without replacement. (a) What is the probability that all three balls are red? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Suppose that you win $20 for each red ball drawn and you lose $10 for each green ball drawn. Compute the expected value of your winnings.
