If You Have 2 Jars With 1000 Blue Marbles

Then 1 marble will be withdrawn from that jar at random.

If you have 2 jars with 1000 blue marbles.

Now we want to place these 100 marbles in 2 jars to maximize the probability of red marble pick. We have 2 jars and not 1. Probability of selecting any one jar is 1 2. How would you maximize the chance of drawing a red marble.

You need to place all the marbles into the jars such that when you blindly pick one marble out of one jar you maximize the chances that it will be red. 600 red and 400 white jar 2. Total 100 marbles out of which 50 are red and 50 are blue coloured. 4 each bucket has enough room for multiple marbles.

When picking you ll first randomly pick a jar and then randomly pick a marble out of that jar you can arrange the marbles however you like but each marble must be in a jar. Additionally the other jar will have 1000 x blue marbles in it. You can arrange the marbles however you like but each marble must be in. When picking you ll first randomly pick a jar and then randomly pick a marble out of that jar.

10 green and 990 white. 900 blue and 100 white jar 3. Each jar can hold 100 marbles. You have two jars 50 red marbles and 50 blue marbles.

You need to place all the marbles into the jars such that when you blindly pick one marble out of one jar you maximize the chances that it will be red. You have three jars containing marbles as follows. For jar 1 we have that. Fifty of the marbles are red and fifty are blue.

One or more comments have been removed. You must place all 100 marbles in the jars. You have 3 jars containing marbles as follows. If you still don t believe it go buy 2000 marbles and try it yourself.

You can decide how many and what marbles to be placed in each of the jars. So the ratio of blue to red in one jar is the inverse of the other. As long as you have the same number of marbles in each side the heavy marble has just enough weight to tip the scale to its side. In other words you get to take 2 measurements or comparisons here.

We conclude that each jars have 1000 marbles. For jar 2 we have that. Jar 1 300 red and 700 white. We calculate the probability of obtaining a red a blue and a green marbles.

Seems tricky at first right. One of the jars is chosen at random and then one marble will be chosen from that jar at random. 3 you are allowed to use set the scale twice in total. When picking you ll first randomly pick a jar and then randomly pick a marble out of that jar.

Jar 2 20 blue and 980 white. I don t agree with your solution. All 100 marbles should be placed in the jars. You have 50 red marbles 50 blue marbles and 2 jars.

You have two jars 50 red marbles and 50 blue marbles. You have two jars and hundred marbles. You have 2 jars 10 red marbles 40 blue marbles. What is the probability of doing so.

Jar 3 500 green and 500 white. Flag as inappropriate flag as inappropriate.
