79. An urn contains n white and m black balls which are removed one at a time.
Question:
79. An urn contains n white and m black balls which are removed one at a time. If n>m, show that the probability that there are always more white than black balls in the urn (until, of course, the urn is empty) equals
(n − m)/(n + m). Explain why this probability is equal to the probability that the set of withdrawn balls always contains more white than black balls. [This latter probability is (n − m)/(n + m) by the ballot problem.]
