In a certain carnival game the player selects two balls at random from an urn containing 4 red balls and 7 white balls. The player receives $5 if he draws two red balls and $2 if he draws one red ball. He loses $2 if no red balls are in the sample. Determine the probability distribution for the experiment of playing the game and observing the player's earnings.
What is the probability to draw two red balls?
What is the probability to draw one red ball?
What is the probability to to draw zero red balls?
and to draw zero red balls is
nothing.

Urn one contains two red, one black balls, urn two contains one red, three black balls, and urn three contains one red, one black balls. A student chooses urn one or urn two at random, and selects one ball from the chosen urn at random and transfers it into urn three. Then he draws a ball from urn three. Given that the ball he draws is red, what is the probability that the transferred ball is red?

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...

Three balls are randomly drawn from an urn that contains four white and seven red balls. (a) What is the probability of drawing a red ball on the third draw? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) (b) What is the probability of drawing a red ball on the third draw given that at least one red ball was drawn on the first two draws? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

1) A ping pong ball is drawn at random from an urn consisting of balls numbered 4 through 9. A player wins $1 if the number on the ball is odd and loses $1 if the number is even. Let x be the amount of money a player will win/lose when playing this game, where x is negative when the player loses money. (a) Construct the probability distribution table for this game. Round your answers to two decimal places. Outcome...

You play the following game against your friend. You have 2 urns and 4 balls. One of the balls is black and the other 3 are white. You can place the balls in the urns any way that you'd like, including leaving an urn empty. Your friend will choose one urn at random and then draw a ball from that urn. (If she chooses an empty urn, he draws nothing.) She wins if...

3. Given an urn containing 2 green, 3 white, and 4 red balls. If two balls are drawn and the first ball is not replaced before the second is drawn, what is the probability that the first ball is white and the second is red? a. 2/3 b. 7/17 c. 4/27 d. 1/6 e. 2/9

There are 4 white balls and 6 red balls in an urn. a. Two balls are selected from the urn without replacement, what is the probability of getting 1 white ball in the first selection and 1 red ball in the second selection? b. If the selection is with replacement, what is the probability of getting 1 white ball in the first selection and 1 red ball in the second selection?

An urn contains 4 white balls and 6 red balls. A second urn contains 6 white balls and 4 red balls. An urn is selected, and the probability of selecting the first urn is 0.8. A ball is drawn from the selected urn and replaced. Then another ball is drawn and replaced from the same urn. If both balls are white, what are the following probabilities? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) the probability that the urn selected...
