1. There are three urns containing 2 white and 3 black balls, 3 white and 2 black and 4
white and 1 black respectively. There is equal probability of each urn being chosen.
One ball is drawn from an urn chosen at random. What is the probability that a white
ball drawn is from the second urn?
2. Thirteen cards are drawn simultaneously from a pack of cards. If aces count 1, face
cards 10 and others according to denomination, find the expectation of the total score
on 13 cards.
3. If two normal universes have the same total frequency but the standard deviation of
one is k times that of the other, show that the maximum frequency of the first is (1/k)
times that of the other.
