Use appropriate sample spaces to show what is wrong withthe following argument: It doesn’t matter whether the girl is the older child or theyounger; in either case the probability is that the other child is a girl.
A coin is tossed repeatedly; x = number of the toss at which a head first appears.
There are 3 red and 2 white balls in one box and 4 red and 5 white in the second box. You select a box at random and from it pick a ball at random. If the ball is red, what is the probability that it came from the second box?
Given a family of two children (assume boys and girls equally likely, that is, probability 1/2 for each), what is the probability that both are boys? That at least one is a girl? Given that at least one is a girl, what is the probability that both are girls? Given that the first two are girls, what is the probability that an expected third child will be a boy?
