Chapter 9, Problem 9.23

(choose chapter or problem)

An urn contains two blue balls (denoted B1 and B2) and three white balls (denoted W1,W2, andW3). One ball is drawn, its color is recorded, and it is replaced in the urn. Then another ball is drawn and its color is recorded. a. Let B1W2 denote the outcome that the rst ball drawn is B1 and the second ball drawn is W2. Because the rst ball is replaced before the second ball is drawn, the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely. List all 25 possible outcomes of the experiment. b. Considertheeventthattherstballthatisdrawnisblue. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event? c. Consider the event that only white balls are drawn. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event?
