An urn contains w(w > 1) white and b(b > 1) black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn and c(c > 1) balls of the color drawn is
dropped into the urn. Another ball is drawn and checked if it is white or black. If the second ball chosen is black, what is the probability that
the first ball was also white?

An examination has 8 multiple choice questions, with four options and exactly one correct option for each question. Each question is worth 5
points with no negative marking. If the passing mark is 15 points and your strategy is to select an option randomly with equal chances of
selecting each, what is the minimum number of attempts after which you would expect to pass the examination?

b. None of these

c. 9

d. 8

e. 10

Question 8
Complete

Mark 6.00 out of 6.00

Consider two urns: urn 1 contains 15 red balls and 12 black balls, while urn 2 contains an unknown number of red balls and 18 black balls.
One urn is randomly selected, with a probability of \(1/3\) for selecting urn 1. Then, a ball is randomly chosen from the selected urn.
Determine the minimum number of red balls, that should be there in urn 2 such that the conditional probability of selecting urn 2, given that
the chosen ball is red, is at least \(6/11\).

a. 9

b. 11

c. 7

d. None of these

e. Don't want to attempt

The correct answer is: 9
