II – (6 ½ points)
Consider two urns U and V:
U contains 7 balls: 4 red, 2 white and 1 black
V contains 8 balls: 3 red, 2 white and 3 black
Consider a perfect die whose 6 faces are numbered: 1 ; 1 ; 1 ; 2 ; 2 ; 3.
Part A
We roll this die.
• If we obtain a face numbered 1, we draw successively with replacement three balls from the urn U.
• If we obtain a face numbered 2, we draw simultaneously three balls from the urn V.
• If we obtain a face numbered 3, we select one ball from each urn.
Consider the following events:
A: « The obtained face of the die is numbered 1 ».
B: « The obtained face of the die is numbered 2 ».
C: « The obtained face of the die is numbered 3 ».
R: « Among the drawn balls we obtain exactly 2 red balls ».
