    1. A ball is randomly transferred between two urns containing different numbers of black and white balls. The probability is then calculated that a final ball selected from the first urn is white. 2. Students are divided into two groups based on their subject. A die is rolled to randomly select a student, with odds determining the group. The probability is found that an engineering student is selected. 3. In a series of chess games, the probability is calculated of different outcomes occurring in a tournament of 3 games based on typical results between the players.

    1. Urn A contains 8 white and 7 black balls. Urn B contains 9 black and 7 white balls. A
    ball is randomly drawn from Urn A and placed in B and then a ball is transferred from
    Urn B to A. Finally, a ball is selected from Urn A. What is the probability that this ball
    is white?
    2. There are two groups of subjects one of which consists of 5 Science and 3
    Engineering subjects and the other consists of 3 Science and 5 Engineering subjects.
    An unbiased die is tossed. If number 3 or number 5 turns up, a subject is selected at
    random from the first group, otherwise subject is selected at random from the second
    group. Find the probability that an Engineering subject is selected.
    3. In general, when A and B play 12 games of chess, 6 are won by A, 4 are won by B
    and 2 end in a draw. They agree to play a tournament consisting of 3 games. Find the
    probability that
    i)
    A wins all 3 games
    ii)
    2 games end in a draw
    iii)
    A and B win alternatively
    iv)
    B wins at least one game.

    5. Two absent-minded roommates, mathematicians, forget their umbrellas in some way
    or another. A always takes his umbrella when he goes out, while B forgets to take his
    umbrella with probability . Each of them forgets his umbrella at a shop with
    probability . After visiting three shops, they return home. Find the probability that
    i)
    They have both umbrellas
    ii)
    They have only one umbrella
    iii)
    B has lost his umbrella given that there is only one umbrella after their return.
    6. At an art exhibition, there are 12 paintings of which 10 are original. A visitor selects a
    painting at random and before he decides to buy, he asks the opinion of an expert
    about the authenticity of the painting. The expert is right in 9 out of 10 cases on
    average.
    i)
    Given that the expert decides that the painting is authentic, what is the
    probability that this is really the case?
    ii)
    If the expert decides that the painting is copy, then the visitor returns it and
    chooses another one; what is the probability that his second choice is original?
    7. The chances that a Doctor A will diagnose a disease X correctly is 60%. The chance
    that a patient will die by his treatment after correct diagnosis is 40% and the chances
    of the death by wrong diagnosis is 70%. A patient of a Doctor A, who had disease X,
    died. What is the chance that his disease was diagnosed correctly?
