Part One: Probability

Case Study #1.13

Conditional Probability

Case Description: Compute conditional probabilities for pairs of draws (without replacement).

Here is our bowl, in tabular form:

Color

# in Bowl

Proportion of Bowl

Blue

5

0.56

Green

3

0.33

Red

1

0.11

Total

9

1.00

 

Suppose that on each trial of this experiment that we make two (2) draws without replacement from the bowl.

Case Objectives:

Compute Pr{ green shows 2nd | red shows 1st };

Compute Pr{ red shows 2nd | red shows 1st };

Compute Pr{ blue shows 2nd | blue shows 1st }.
