One urn contains 6 blue balls and 14 white balls, and a second urn contains 12 blue balls and 7 white balls. An urn is selected at random, and a ball is chosen from the urn. a. What is the probability that the chosen ball is blue? b. If the chosen ball is blue, what is the probability that it came from the first urn?

a) 0.4658 = 46.58% probability that the chosen ball is blue

b) 0.322 = 32.2% probability that it came from the first urn

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

a. What is the probability that the chosen ball is blue?

6/20 = 0.3 of 0.5(first urn)

12/19 = 0.6316 out of 0.5(second urn).

P(A) = 0.3*0.5 + 0.6316*0.5 = 0.4658

0.4658 = 46.58% probability that the chosen ball is blue.

b. If the chosen ball is blue, what is the probability that it came from the first urn?

Event A: Blue Ball

Event B: From first urn

From item a., P(A) = 0.4658

Probability of blue ball from first urn:

0.3 of 0.5. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.4658} = 0.322$

0.322 = 32.2% probability that it came from the first urn

1. sometimes

2. never

3 .08c = 7.50+.05c 250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1. sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6. perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1 in those 60 times. your experimental probability is 0. or perhaps you rolled a 1 20 times. your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3. it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2. never

the probability of the event occurring is 1. that is being 100 % sure it will happen. that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3. no customer card cost: .08 times number of pages

customer card cost: 7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250

the cost is the same at 250 pages
