Q2. Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black ball selected and we lose $1 for each white ball selected. Let X denote our winnings. What are the possible values of X, and what are the probabilities associated with each value i.e. create a discrete probability distribution table for winning amount. Compute the expected value of winnings and standard deviation of winnings. You can setup an Excel spreadsheet to perform the calculations. Upload your Excel file on BB using the link Homework> HW3.

An urn contains six white balls and four black balls. Two balls are randomly selected from the urn. Let X represent the number of black balls selected. (a) Identify the probability distribution of X. State the values of the parameters corresponding to this distribution. (b) Compute P(X = 0), P(X = 1), and P(X = 2). (c) Consider a game of chance where you randomly select two balls from the urn.

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 4 white balls and 6 red balls. A second urn contains 8 white balls and 2 red balls. An urn is selected, and a ball is randomly drawn from the selected urn. The probability of selecting the first urn is 0.7. If the ball is white, find the probability that the second urn was selected. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

In a certain lottery, an urn contains balls numbered 1 to 34. From this urn, 4 balls are chosen randomly, without replacement

In a certain lottery, an urn contains balls numbered 1 to 34. From this urn, 4 balls are chosen randomly, without replacement. For a $1 bet, a player chooses one set of four numbers. To win, all four numbers must match those chosen from the urn. The order in which the balls are selected does not matter. What is the probability of winning this lottery with one ticket?

Urn A contains four white balls and three black balls. Urn B contains six white balls and seven black balls. A ball is drawn from Urn A and then transferred to Urn B. A ball is then drawn from Urn B. What is the probability that the transferred ball was white given that the second ball drawn was white? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) I can't seem to figure this out! Please help! Thank you!
