Edward has four pearls – two white and two black – which he can distribute as he chooses between two identical bags. He must then choose a bag at random and pick one pearl at random from the bag he chose. If Edward distributes the pearls so as to maximize his chances of picking a black pearl, what is the probability that Edward will pick a black pearl?
