spanther22 466 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 the probability of having 11 red balls and 0 whites is around 17% which i imagine is greater than having 10 red balls and 1 white (my head started hurting too much to work it out). it also implies that the probability of having at least one white ball making up your 11 is 83% (100-17). which may or may not screw this thread up.

You are aware that option 2 is 10 WHITE and not 10 RED ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepeter 5,627 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 See the people who have voted for the second option - you did notice it said 10 white balls and one red ball, did you? So it's more likely, in a bag with 86 red and 14 white balls to draw 10 of the 14 white balls and only one red ball than it is to draw 11 red balls...?

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Are the balls being drawn by a person or persons with white gloves on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLawMan 6,240 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Are the balls being drawn by a person or persons with white gloves on?No.The gloves are little grey numbers with the finger tops cut off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Lets us know lolNot yet my friend.Need to get a bigger amount of votes on the go.It seems that one option is looking the most favoured so far so it would be interesting if anyone could explain why they plumped for Option 2 please which may give others reason to moving forward.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What if you pick out 10 reds, then a white, but the white ball will only stay with other white balls? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I know on the face of it, this might not appear to be Rangers related but it is and its something im just keen to get a view on. Admin, if you are unsure of why this is in the Bears Den, please PM me rather than move it for now.ScenarioThere are 100 balls in a bag. 86 of them are Red. 14 of them are White.You have to draw out 11 balls at random and you are blindfolded.Which of the 2 combinations above is the most likely to happen ?Are the 86 red balls 'red hot' whilst the 14 white balls 'chilled to the bone'? (It's an old SFA trick) ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Rich 27 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Surely, there's not enough information to make that decision...what are they made of? what size are they?Could this be the Rangers link. We don't have enough information to decide whether Whyte is good enough for the Rangers or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
