What is the probability of selecting a blue marble from a jar containing 15 red marbles, 10 green marbles, and 5 blue marbles, if two marbles are randomly chosen without replacement, and after the first marble is selected it is returned to the jar before the second marble is selected, given that the first marble chosen was either red or green and the second marble chosen is blue?

There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
You have three jars containing marbles, as follows:jar 1 600 red and 400 whitejar 2 900 blue and 100 whitejar 3 10 green and 990 whitea. If you blindly select one marble from each jar,calculate the probability of obtaining(1) a red, a blue, and a green.(2) three whites.(3) a red, a green, and a white.(4) a red and two whites.(5) a color and two whites.(6) at least one white.b.

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.

The number of dollars a round trip plane ticket costs from North America to Europe is normally distributed with a mean of $1,780 and a standard deviation of $335. What is the probability a randomly selected ticket costs between $775 and $2,785? Enter your answer in decimal form. For example. 75% should be entered as 0.75
Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing one white ball and two 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. The probability of the second ball being red is?
