An urn contains 5 white and 10 black balls. A fair die is rolled and that number of balls is randomly chosen from the urn. What

is the probability that all of the balls selected are white? What is the conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white?

Answer:

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the event all balls are white.

D_i is the dice outcome.

Sine the die is fair:

P(D_i)=\frac{1}{6} for i∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}

In case of 10 black and 5 white balls:

P(A|D_1)=\frac{5_{C}_1}{15_{C}_1} =\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}

P(A|D_2)=\frac{5_{C}_2}{15_{C}_2} =\frac{10}{105}=\frac{2}{21}

P(A|D_3)=\frac{5_{C}_3}{15_{C}_3} =\frac{10}{455}=\frac{2}{91}

P(A|D_4)=\frac{5_{C}_4}{15_{C}_4} =\frac{5}{1365}=\frac{1}{273}

P(A|D_5)=\frac{5_{C}_5}{15_{C}_5} =\frac{1}{3003}=\frac{1}{3003}

P(A|D_6)=\frac{5_{C}_6}{15_{C}_6} =0

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\sum^6_{i=1} P(A|D_i)P(D_i)

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

We have to find P(D_3|A)

The data required is calculated above:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{P(A|D_3)P(D_3)}{P(A)}\\ P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516

why do whole numbers raised to an exponet get greater while fractions raised to an exponet get smaller
hoa [83]
Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2

And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100

If two angles are complementary then both angles must be acute true or false
Oxana [17]

Answer:

If two angles are acute angles, then they are complementary. Incorrect. The converse is “If two angles are complementary, then they are acute angles” which is true and the original statement was false because two acute angles are not always complementary.
