We have an urn with three green balls and two yellow balls. We pick a sample of two without replacement. We put these two balls into a separate urn that was previously empty. Then we draw two balls from the second urn with replacement. (a) What is the probability the first sample had two balls of the same color? (b) What is the probability the second sample had two balls of the same color?

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.

Find the probability that the second ball is red.
Three six-sided dice are in an urn: one fair die and two trick dice. One of the trick dice always lands on either 2, 4, or 6, with equal probability, while the other trick die always lands on 1, 3, or 5, with equal probability. 9. You draw one die at random and roll it. What is the probability that you drew the fair die, given that the roll is at least 4?
