Urn A has 13 white and 4 red balls. Urn B has 9 white and 17 red balls. We flip a fair coin. If the outcome is heads, then a ball from urn A is selected, whereas if the outcome is tails, then a ball from urn B is selected. Suppose that a red ball is selected. What is the probability that the coin landed heads?

Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.
Suppose that there is a white urn containing three white balls and one red ball and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls.

Jay-Z has applied to both The School of Hard Knocks and The University of OG's. He thinks the probability that The School of Hard Knocks will admit him is 0.4, the probability that The University of OG's will admit him is 0.5, and the probability that both will admit him is 0.2. Creating a Venn Diagram is Helpful. What is the probability that Jay-Z gets into The School of Hard Knocks but not The University of OGʻs?
A big bowl contains 3 red chips and 6 white chips. A chip is drawn at random. If it is red, that chip along with an additional red chip will be put back in the bowl. If it is white, the chip is simply returned to the bowl. Next a second chip is drawn. If the 2nd chip is white, what is the probability that the first is red? The answer as 9/29. But I don't know the work.
Bag 1 contains 8 gray rocks and 5 black rocks, and Bag 2 contains 9 gray rocks and 4 black rocks. Suppose we flip a fair coin. If the result is heads, we randomly select a rock from Bag 1; if the result is tails, we randomly select a rock from Bag 2. Suppose that a gray rock was selected. What is the probability that the rock came from Bag 1?

You have 2 biased coins. Coin A comes up heads with probability 1/4, while coin B comes upheads with probability 3/4. However, you don’t know which is which, so you choose a coinrandomly and flip it. If the flip is heads, you guess the flipped coin is B, otherwise you guess it iscoin A. What is the probability that your guess is correct?
