A game consists of drawing cards from a well shuffled 52-card
deck without replacement until an ace
is not drawn.
(a) What is the probability that you draw an ace on the first
card?
(b) What is the probability that you draw an ace on the fourth
card?
(c) What is the probability that you draw an ace on the fifth
card?
d) Suppose you have a bowl of 12 marbles, 6 of which are blue
and the other 6 of which are red. You flip a coin. If it lands on
heads, then you add 3 black marbles to the bowl. If it lands on
tails, then you leave the bowl untouched. After this process, you
draw a marble from the bowl at random. What is the probability that
you draw a blue marble?
