Question

the paper inc Spinne 12. There are two bags each containing red balls and yellow balls. Bag A contains 1 red and 4 yellow balls. Bag B contains 3 red and 13 yellow balls. Marcus says that if we choose one bag and draw out one ball from that bag you should always choose bag B if you are trying to draw a red ball because it has more red balls than bag A. How do you respond?

Answer 1

I would respond that Marcus is wrong. Because although there are more red balls in bag B. the probability to get a red ball is greater in bag A.

`(1)/(5)>(3)/(16)`
