Suppose that Bag 1 contains 4 red balls and 2 green balls, and Bag 2 contains 3 red balls and 3 green balls. You draw two balls at random from Bag 1, and two balls at random from Bag 2. (a) Compute the probability that all four balls drawn are the same colour. (b) Compute the probability that all four balls drawn are green given that all four balls drawn are the same colour.

Suppose that a bag contains one white chip and two red chips. Chips are going to be selected at random from the bag with replacement. What is the probability of selecting a white chip from the bag? What is the probability of selecting a red chip from the bag? Are the outcomes of selecting a white chip and selecting a red chip equally likely? Two chips are selected from the bag with replacement. Is the probability of selecting two white chips greater than, equal to, or less than the probability of selecting two red chips? Explain your answer.
The probability that if we choose 10 people randomly there are at least 2 smokers is 0.4557. The probability that there are at most 2 smokers is 0.8202. Find the probability that there are precisely 2 smokers.

There are two bags A and B. Bag A contains n white balls and 2 black balls while bag B contains 2 white balls and n black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it without replacement. We know that if both the balls drawn are white balls, the probability of bag A being selected to draw the balls is . Find the value of n.
