Question:
Suppose that a bag contains one white chip and two red chips. Two chips are going to be selected at random from the bag with replacement.
(a) What is the probability of selecting a white chip from the bag on the first selection?
(b) What are the odds against selecting a white chip from the bag on the first selection?
(c) What is the probability of selecting a red chip from the bag on the first selection?
(d) Are the outcomes of selecting a white chip and selecting a red chip on the first selection equally likely? Explain.
(e) The sample space when two chips are selected from the bag with replacement is ww, wr, rw, rr. Do you believe that the probability of selecting ww is greater than, equal to, or less than the probability of selecting rr? Explain.
