You have an opaque urn with three blue balls and two white balls. One by one, you draw (remove) a ball from the urn, note its color, and put it aside (do not return it to the urn). 1) what is the probability that your first draw is a white ball? 2) what is the probability that your first two draws are blue balls? 3) what is the probability that your first three draws are blue balls? 4) what is the probability that you pull blue, white, blue, white, blue in that order? 5) suppose you return the ball you draw to the urn after each draw. What is the probability that your first three draws are blue balls?
