probability - getting a red ball in thenext draw is












0












$begingroup$


An urn contains 5 red and 7 green balls. A ball is drawn at random and its color is noted. The ball is placed back into the urn along with another ball of same color. The probability of getting a red ball in the next draw is _____.



My approach:
I think both of these events are independent and hence probability of drawing a red ball random remains same which is equal to $frac{5}{12}$.



is it correct?

If the first draw is red, which happens with probability $frac{5}{12}$, the second draw is from an urn with $6$ reds (one extra) and $7$ greens, from which a red draw has probability $frac{6}{13}$.



If the first draw is green (happens with probability $frac{7}{12}$) we have a second draw from an urn with $5$ reds and $8$ greens, from which a red draw has probability $frac{5}{13}$.



So $$P(text{second red}) = P(text{second red}| text{first red})P(text{first red}) + P(text{second red}| text{first green})P(text{first green})$$



which equals $$frac{6}{13}frac{5}{12} + frac{5}{13}frac{7}{12}= frac{5}{12}$$



For $r$ red balls and $g$ green balls I get $$frac{r(r+1)+ rg}{(r+g+1)(r+g)}=frac{r(r+g+1)}{(r+g)(r+g+1)}=frac{r}{r+g}$$ as the answer, so the equal probability to the initial situation is no coincidence. Interesting.

    @swapnil we’re also putting in an extra ball of the same colour that was drawn. So two reds or two greens go back. “Along with another ball of the same color” it says.

$begingroup$

No. As another ball with a colour dependant on the first draw is placed in the urn before the second draw, the events are not independent.

    consider this example. I have a pack of card, I selected first card I noted it and again placed it back in the deck with another color of same card. Now the probability that I will get the ace won't it be 4/52.

    No, but the answer to what that probability will be also depend on the probability that the new card is an ace.

I thought first we are picking a ball from urn then noticing its color and then putting it back again in urn.

@swapnil we’re also putting in an extra ball of the same colour that was drawn. So two reds or two greens go back. “Along with another ball of the same color” it says.

No. As another ball with a colour dependant on the first draw is placed in the urn before the second draw, the events are not independent.

    consider this example. I have a pack of card, I selected first card I noted it and again placed it back in the deck with another color of same card. Now the probability that I will get the ace won't it be 4/52.

    No, but the answer to what that probability will be also depend on the probability that the new card is an ace.

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
