Question

11. Suppose that an urn contains two black balls and one red ball. You draw a ball from the urn at random. If you draw a red ball on the first try, it is returned to the urn along with two additional red balls. But if you draw a black ball on the first try, it will be returned to the urn along with one black ball and two red balls. A second draw is then made. a. What is the probability that a red ball will be drawn on the first draw? b. What is the probability that a red ball will be drawn on both the first and second draws? c. What is the probability that a black ball will be drawn on the first draw? d. What is the probability that a black ball will be drawn on both the first and the second draws? 12. Suppose an urn contains three black balls and two red balls. And suppose you draw two balls without replacement. a. What is the probability that you will draw a red ball in your first draw? b. What is the probability that you will draw both red balls in two draws? c. What is the probability that you will draw a black ball in your first draw? d. What is the probability that you will draw two black balls in two draws?

An urn contains $b$ black balls and $r$ red balls. One of the balls is drawn at random, but when it is put back in the urn $c$ additional balls of the same color are put in with it. Now suppose that we draw another ball. Show that the probability that the first ball is drawn was black given that the second ball drawn was red is $b /(b+r+c)$.

00:01 Hello students, according to the given question we have to find out probability values.
00:06 In question 11 it was given that an urn contains two black balls and three are one is red.
00:16 So the total will be equal to three.
00:20 So now if we draw the first in draw in first draw if we draw the red ball we have to replace that red ball plus two extra red balls.
00:34 Two extra red balls have to be replaced and if the first draw contains first draw is obtain a black ball then we have to keep that black ball along with one black extra and two extra red.
00:52 So in the a -b to find probability that red on first draw so which is equal to one by three.
01:02 For the b -bit probability of red on both both that is first and second draw that is one by three into three by five that will be one by five.
01:15 For the c -bit probability of black on first draw black ball on the first draw that is two by three...
