Question

There are 10 marbles in a paper bag, 6 of which are red. The rest are blue. You play a game with your friend. If you draw a red marble, you win. If you draw a blue marble she wins. Is this a fair game?

Answer 1

No, because you have 1 more marble than her. While you have 6 marbles in the bag, she has 4; there’s a 3/5 chance that you’ll win, and a 2/5 chance that she’ll win.
