2. Suppose that a box is known to contain 50 red and 25 blue marbles. Two marbles are to be drawn in succession. The first marble is set aside and its color noted. It is not placed back into the box before the second marble is drawn.

a. Sketch a probability tree which represents this situation.

b. What is the probability that the second marble is red, if the first marble is red?

c. If the second marble is blue, what is the probability that the first marble is red?

Suppose that a drawer contains 8 marbles: 2 are red, 2 are blue, 2 are green, and 2 are yellow. The marbles are rolling around in a drawer, so that all possibilities are equally likely when they are drawn. Alice chooses 2 marbles without replacement, and then Bob also chooses 2 marbles without replacement. Let Y denote the number of red marbles that Alice gets, and let X denote the number of red marbles that Bob gets. a. Find probability...
