Ask Custom Question

A 6-sided die is rolled and depending on the result a ball is then chosen from one of three boxes. If the roll results in a 1 a ball is drawn from box A, if the roll results in a 2 or a 3 a ball is drawn from box B, and if the roll results in a 4, 5, or 6 a ball is drawn from box C. If box A contains 1 red, 6 white, and 3 black balls, box B contains 6 red and 4 black balls, and box C contains 3 white and 7 black balls:

a) What is the probability that you draw a black ball?

b) What is the probability that you draw a red ball from box A?

c) What is the probability that you draw a black ball that does not come from box B?

d) What is the probability that you draw a white ball given that you drew the ball from box C?

e) What is the probability that you drew from box A given that the ball is black?

  • Single-event probability

    Suppose I have a 10-sided die. It's clear enough that the odds of rolling a 1 are 10% for any single roll. What, then, is the likelihood that I will roll a 1 given 10 rolls? Given 5 or 20 rolls?

  • Understanding the Central Limit Theorem.

    Since you have a 1/6 chance of each outcome you get a flat (uniform) distribution about 1/6 or .1666 probability of observing each outcome. However when you have two die things change.

  • Finding the expected value of a game

    First we should calculate the probability that you roll a die 3 times and no 5 comes up. Each toss of the die has a probability of 5/6 of NOT being a 5. So, P(3 rolls and no 5) = (5/6)^3 = .5787.
