At a party, you're asked to draw 12 b***s from a bag of 30 red b***s and place them in a bag containing 60 black b***s. You then thoroughly mix the b***s in the second bag before being blindfolded and withdrawing 12 b***s from it, which you place in the bag of red b***s. How many more black b***s would you expect to find in the first bag [the bag that initially contained only red b***s] than red b***s in the second bag? Thanks.
There will always be the same number of black b***s in the first bag as red b***s in the second, regardless of how many black b***s you happen to transfer from the second to the first bag! Perhaps the best way to see this is by means of a simple example. If you removed 3 red and 9 black b***s from the second bag and placed them in the first bag, there will be 9 black b***s in the first bag. But, by taking only 3 red b***s across, you have left 9 red b***s behind in the second bag!.
I'll give this a shot
Afer taking 12 red b***s from the first bag and putting them into the second :
The first bag conains 18 b***s [all red ]
And the second bag now contains :
72 b***s..... 60 black, and 12 red = 5/6 black and 1/6 red
Assuming the second bag is well−mixed and taking 12 b***s from it and putting hem back into the first bag.:
We should select 10 black b***s (5/6)*12 and 2 red ones (1/6)*12 to be put back into the first bag
So the second bag [ theoreically] now contains 50 black and 10 red
And the first bag should now contain 10 black and 20 red
So.......the first bag should contain as many black b***s as the second bag contains red ones !!!
