Problem 5STE
An urn has r red and w white balls that are randomly removed one at a time. Let Ri be the event that the ith ball removed is red. Find
(a) P(Ri)
(b) P(R5|R3)
(c) P(R3|R5)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Given an urn has ‘r’ red and ‘w’ white balls that are randomly removed one at a time.
Let denotes the event that the ball removed is red.
Our goal is
We need to find :
a). P().
b). P().
c). P().
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
P() =
\(\mathrm{P}\left(R_{3}\right)=\left(\frac{r-2}{r+w-2}\right) \times \frac{r \times r}{(r+w)^{2}}+\left(\frac{r-1}{r+w-2}\right) \times \frac{r \times w}{(r+w)^{2}}+\left(\frac{r-1}{r+w-2}\right) \times \frac{r \times w}{(r+w)^{2}}+\left(\frac{r-1}{r+w-2}\right) \times \frac{w^{2}}{(r+w)^{2}}\)
P() =
P() =
P() =
Similarly P() =
Therefore, P() =.
