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)
= 11/288

This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
