19. An urn contains n red and m blue balls. They are withdrawn one at a time until a total of r,r ≤n, red balls have been withdrawn. Find the probability that a total of k balls are withdrawn. Hint: A total of k balls will be withdrawn if there are r 1 red balls in the first k-1 withdrawals and the kth withdrawal is a red ball. 00
