Complete question:

Consider 3 boxes, each of which contains 4 balls in particular, box 1 contains 4 white balls, box 2 contains 3 white balls and 1 red ball, box 3 contains 2 white balls and 2 red balls. Frank chooses a box at random. If boxes 1 and 3 are chosen, Frank extracts 2 balls without replacement. If box 2 is chosen Frank extracts 2 balls with replacement. USE ONLY THE CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY FORMALISM and derive an expression for the probability that the 2 extracted balls are red.

Answer:

11/288

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Box 1: ( 4White, ORed)

Box 2: (3White, 1Red)

Box 3: (2White, 2 Red)

We are told that if Frank choose from Box 1 and Box 3, 2 balls are extracted without replacement.

Since there is no red ball in Box 1, there is no way 2 red balls will come out from Box1.

Our Event, E = getting 2 red balls.

Now Box 1 is ruled out, we have:

P[E(B1)]= 0

P[E/B3)] = (2 2) / (4 2)

= 1/6

If box 2 is chosen, 2 balls are extracted with replacement. Therefore for Box 2:

P(E/B2) = (1/4) *(1/4)

= 1/16

Therefore probability that 2 balls extracted are red, we have:

P(E)=P(E/B1) P(B1) + P(E/B2) P(B2)+P(E/B3) P(B3)

= 0 * \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{16}*\frac{1}{3}

= 11/288

A man has mislaid his wallet. He thinks there is a 0.4 chance that the wallet is somewhere in his bedroom, a 0.1 chance it is in
lana [24]

Answer:

a. Probability = 0.15

b. Probability = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(Bedroom) = 0.4

P(Kitchen) = 0.1

P(Bathroom) = 0.2

P(Living\ room) = 0.15

Solving (a): Probability of being somewhere else

This is calculated by subtracting the sum of given probabilities from 1.

Probability = 1 - (0.4 + 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.15)

Probability = 1 - 0.85

Probability = 0.15

Solving (b): Probability of being in bedroom or kitchen

This is calculated as:

Probability = P(Bedroom) + P(Kitchen)

Probability = 0.2 + 0.1

Probability = 0.3
