please do the last question(Q3) as well Define a game as follow: you begin with an urn that contains a mixture of black and white balls, and during the game you have access to as many extra black and white balls as you need. In each move of the game, you remove two balls from the urn without being able to see what colour they are. Then you look at their colour and do the following: If the balls are the same colour, you keep them out of the urn and put a black ball in the urn. if the balls are different colours, you keep the black one out of the urn and put the white one back into the urn. Each move reduces the number of balls by one, and the game will end when only one ball is left in the urn. In this you will figure out how to predict the colour of the last ball in the urn and prove your answer using mathematical induction. Q1) Draw diagrams to map out all the possibilities for playing the game starting with two balls in the urn, then three balls, then four balls. For each case…

An archery target consists of a gold circle with radius of 5 inches surrounded by a red ring whose diameter is 20 inches. Next, there are three progressively larger rings – blue, black, and white. The diameter of each ring is 10 inches larger than the diameter of the previous ring. John is a beginner so his aim is poor and, if his arrow hits the target, its location on the target is completely at random. John shoots and then yells, “I hit it!” Without using your calculator, find the following probabilities. Write the answers as a percentage. a) The probability his arrow landed in the gold circle is ______. b) The probability his arrow landed in the white area is ______. c) The probability his arrow landed in the red or the blue area is ______.
