P = 0.5
Easy for anyone who did basic stats.

label the balls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, from left to right. here are 20 random numbers in that range: 4, 1, 6, 6, 4, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2, 2, 5, 1, 3, 6, 4, 5, 4, 1, 3. of these, 10 are gold balls 1-3. 7 are from box 1 and 3 are from box 2. this should help illustrate why the answer is that there's a 2/3 chance you reached into box 1 if you got a gold ball.

There are 3 gold balls total. If you pulled a gold ball you are in one of two boxes, with 3 gold balls and 1 silver ball.

The remaining balls in those 2 boxes are 2 gold balls, and 1 silver ball. Thus, your probability of the second ball being gold is 2/3, and your probability of the second ball being silver is 1/3.

Super simple. Nothing fancy.

You have a 2/3rds chance of selecting a box with at least one golden ball.
If one golden ball is already selected, then you have a 1/2 chance of selecting another golden ball.
Therefore 2/3*1/2=2/6 or 1/3 total probability of selecting two golden balls, which is visually confirmed

Correct.

Stunningly incorrect. Masterful gambit.

iirc its .26-.3 so 25.5% probability i simulated it and used a calculator you can solve it both ways cuh

>>16575973
What was your simulation process? That doesn't make sense as a result unless you were doing something weird with your conditional logic.

Incorrect.

There are 3 boxes is irrelevant because:
You take gold ball
You take again from the same box
So its either
2g -1g
or
1g+1s -1g
so
1g or 1s
which makes it 50/50
