N Balls in two urns

81 Views Asked by At

Let A and B tow urns containing both N balls numbered from $1$ to $N$.

  • 1) We assume to extract casually one ball from A and one ball from B. What is the probability that they have the same number?

$\rightarrow \mathbb{P}($same number at the first extraction$)=\frac{1}{N^2}$

  • 2) We assume to remove from urns the balls extracted only if these balls are equal, and to repeat a second time the extraction. What is the probability to obtain two equal numbers at the second extraction?

  • 3) Knowing that at the second extraction we have obtained tow equal numbers, waht is the probability that even at the first extraction were obtained two equal numbers?


I have difficulty to solve the second point, because for the third point just apply Bayes. Can you help me? Thanks in advance.
