Five identical bowls are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Bowl i contains i white and 5 − i black balls, with i = 1, 2, , 5. A bowl is randomly selected and two balls are randomly selected (without replacement) from the contents of the bowl. (a) What is the probability that both balls selected are white? (b) Given that both balls selected are white, what is the probability that bowl 4 was selected?

Consider two urns: Urn-1 contains 3 red, 2 black and 4 white balls while Urn-2 contains 4 red, 4 black and 3 white balls. An urn is randomly selected with equal chances of it being Urn-1 or Urn-2, and then a ball is picked at random from the selected urn. (a) Find the probability that either a white or a red ball is picked? Your answer correct up to four decimal places. (b) If the picked ball is NOT black, find the probability it came from Urn-2? Your answer correct up to four decimal places.
