(1 point) In an experiment, a ball is drawn from an urn
containing 10 red balls and 14 purple balls. If the ball is red,
three coins are tossed. Otherwise two coins are tossed.
How many elements of the sample space will have a red ball?
How many elements of the sample space are there altogether?
a) Number of possible outcomes with tossing 3 coins = 2*2*2 = 8
Hence,
Number of elements in sample space that will have a red ball = 8
b) Total elements in the sample space
= Elements with red ball + Elements with Purple ball
= 2*2*2 + 2*2
= 8 + 4
= 12

9. A ball is drawn from a box containing three balls, one red, one blue, and one green. The ball is returned and a second ball is drawn. A tree diagram is drawn to give the outcomes of the experiment with respect to the colors of the two balls. If x represent the number of red balls in the two selected. Must show tree diagram, sample space, and your work. 20 pts. a. What are the possible values of x?...
Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing three 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. The probability of the second ball being...
An urn contains 8 red balls, 3 green balls, and 1 white ball. Three are drawn simultaneously. Answer the following questions: 1. How many ways can 1 ball of each color be drawn? 2. How many ways can at least 1 green ball be drawn? 3. How many ways can the same color ball be drawn?
Problem 3. A ball is taken at random from an urn containing 2 red balls and 3 blue balls. If the ball is red a fair coin is tossed three times. If the ball is blue non-fair coin is tossed three times; for this second coin the probability of heads is .6. In either case we count the number of heads in the three tosses and call that number X (a) Compute the conditional probability that X-2 if it is...

3- Two balls are drawn from a bag containing 3 white balls and 4 red balls. If the first ball is replaced before the second is drawn, what is the probability that a. Both balls are red? b. Both balls are white? c. The first ball is red and the second ball is white? d. One of the balls is black? 4- A bag contains 7 coins, of which 4 are fair; the remaining coin has a head on both...
Urn A contains two red balls and eight blue balls. Urn B contains two red balls and ten green balls. Six balls are drawn from urn A and four are drawn from urn B; in each case, each ball is replaced before the next one is drawn. What is the most likely number of blue balls to be drawn? What is the most likely number of green balls to be drawn?
1. An urn contains balls numbered 1 through 7. A ball is drawn and replaced, and a second ball is drawn. a) How many outcomes are in the sample space? 7 different outcomes b) Describe the outcome "ball number 3 is drawn, then ball number 7 is drawn." a) How many outcomes are in the sample space? There is/are 7 differ Butcome(s) in the sample space. (Simplify your answer.) b) Describe the outcome "ball number 3 is drawn, then ball...
Suppose there is an urn containing 5 red, 4 white, and 11 blue balls. We drawn six balls from the urn (no replacement) (a) Find the number of ways (not the probability) of choosing a red ball, then a blue ball, then exactly 2 white balls, and finally exactly 2 blue balls. (b)Find the number of ways of choosing 2 red balls initially , then at least 3 blue balls, then a green ball. (c) Find the number of ways...
(1 point) There are 5 balls in an urn: 1 red, 1 green, and 3 blue. An experiment has the following rules: i. If a red ball is drawn the experiment ends. ii. If a green ball is drawn, it is set aside and another ball is drawn. iii. If the blue ball is drawn, it is replaced and another ball is drawn. What is the probability that first ball was blue given that the second ball was blue?
