You need not worry about what box is picked - we are told one ball is gold. This rules out box #3 on the list.

Out of the two boxes remaining, remove one gold ball from each.

Oh look! There's a gold ball left in box 1, and a silver ball in box 2.

The odds are 50/50 that the NEXT ball is gold. Do not let the other four balls confuse you.

>You need not worry about what box is picked - we are told one ball is gold. This rules out box #3 on the list.

This is correct, You must either have th ebox with 2 gold balls, or the box with 1 gold and 1 silver.

>Out of the two boxes remaining, remove one gold ball from each.

That's not what happens in the question. In the question, you've randomly seleted 1 box from 3. and then randomly plucked a ball from that box. The ball was gold.

>Oh look! There's a gold ball left in box 1, and a silver ball in box 2.

That means nothing. You are working with a single box now, not 2 boxes from which you have removed 2 gold balls.

>The odds are 50/50 that the NEXT ball is gold.

Incorrect.

The answer is 2/3

Here is the reason:

You are TWICE AS LIKELY to have the all gold box as you are to have the gold/silver box due to the fact that the first ball plucked from the box was gold.

Answer = 2/3

Google Bertrand's Box Paradox.

>>677663900

Except it isn't. This retard doesn't seem to understand that you can't see inside the boxes, and that you only take out 1 gold ball, not 2. So, here's what actually happens. You take out a gold ball. You immediately know that box #3 is eliminated because it has no gold balls at all. You're left with 3 balls in total over 2 boxes, with 2 gold balls left from them. It doesn't matter which box you choose from, the probability is going to be 2/3.

You have information that you are drawing from a box that contained at least 1 gold ball.

Only 2 boxes contain a gold ball per the problem description.

Thus, the next ball drawn will be the remaining ball from one of those 2 boxes.

The remaining ball can either be silver or gold, per the problem description and information that you have extracted 1 gold ball.

Thus, if you draw another ball from the same box, you have equal chances of drawing a silver or gold ball.

Nope, knowing what could be in the boxes and that you just drew a gold ball rules out the silver-silver box. Only two boxes fit the constraints.

>>677664857
you are wrong because of the greater chance of picking a gold ball from the correct box (2/3). Picking a gold ball from the wrong box is only 1/3.

The probability is NOT how many gold balls there are out of how many balls there are left, it is what is the likelihood the next ball you choose will be a gold ball FROM THE SAME BOX.

INCORRECT!!!! The fact that the first ball drawn from the box was gold, means that you are TWICE AS LIKELY to have picked the ALL GOLD box, thus given the probability of the next ball drawn being gold = 2/3.

See Bertrand's Box Paradox, son:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand's_box_paradox

two steps:

First: You know the ball picked is gold, there are 3 gold balls in total, 2 in the first box and 1 in the second box, meaning that there is a 2/3 chance the first box is picked and a 1/3 chance the second box is picked.

Second: if the first box is picked the chance is 100% the other ball is gold, and if the second box is picked the chance is 0% the other ball is gold.

Combining these two gives a probability of 2/3 that the other ball is gold.

This analysis doesn't work because you assume you can distinguish between the gold balls.

In other words you say you can distinguish between
X,X
X,X

but actually you can't, and this fundamentally matters.

If you don't believe me, read up on the statistics of Quantum Mechanics. Things change drastically whether you have distinguishable and indistinguishable particles.

It's 100%. I'm going to put the gold ball back without letting it go, and take the same ball out of the same box.

Anyone saying 2/3 is a moron. 1/2 is the correct answer. Only two boxes are a possibility. If box is XY then the pull will be Y if the box is XX then the pull will be X. Only two possible outcomes hence 1/2. Any other attempts to explain are plebian and spit in the face of Occam's Razor.

It's 2/3 because it states that the ball you grabbed is gold. There are two boxes in total that contain at least one gold ball. Out of those two boxes there are 3 gold balls and one silver ball. You've already grabbed one of the gold balls so there are now 2 gold balls and one silver, thus the probability of choosing a gold ball would be 2/3.

I will also provide a simple explanation for you idiots. I can't believe someone actually ran a code. What a bunch of losers populate this board jesus.

This question can be asked in this way:

We randomly choose a gold ball in the picture.
What are chances that the gold ball that we chose is in the left box?

You need to be a retard not to see the answer.

>>677665648
Lemmi esplain.

When you have a gold ball in your hand you could have picked one of three. There is a two out of three probability you picked from the right box, and a one out of three probability you picked from the wrong box.

Even the most certified retard should understand this by now.

Nope dipshit.

The problem statement says you _know_ that you drew a gold ball, not what the probability of drawing a second gold ball after _potentially_ drawing a first gold ball is.

The devil is in the details. OP was trying to be clever, but got the wording wrong.

>>677665189
The probability of the first draw is irrelevent to the probability of the second draw.

Aren't You more likely to take a gold ball from the box that contains 2? Then it's more likely that it is the box that contains the two gold balls?

Holy shit I'm retarded. Been thinking about this forever. It's either 100% or 50% or 0%, depending on which box you take from, now I'm rethinking because that's stupid.

You only have a 50% chance of getting either box with the gold ball in it, and in one box you have 50% chance and other 100% chance, so add them up = 200/300 % chance, which equals 66% chance. I'm retarded

Has anyone heard of Baye's theorem? We have to learn this shit in high school if we have maths, and maths is the most likely subject any random student would have because of the fucking stupid education system.

Check my post below you retard. You're not just analysing the boxes, you're analysing what's inside them. The probability would be 1/2 only if there are EQUAL AMOUNTS OF GOLD AND SILVER BALLS WHEN THE BALLS OF THE TWO BOXES ARE GROUPED TOGETHER. But there aren't equal amounts of the gold and silver balls. YOU HAVE GRABBED ONE GOLD AND NOW THERE ARE 2 GOLD AND ONE SILVER HENCE THE ANSWER IS 2/3

You now have 1 ball in the box.
If you took the ball from the 1st box, you will get a golden ball (success), but if you took it from the 2nd box you will get a silver ball (failure).

Since only two boxes contain gold balls, box 3 is removed from the equation. Easy.

What the 2/3 people people are being hung up on is that one of the gold balls is ALREADY OUT OF THE BOX. Thereby, the remaining balls in each possible box would be 1 gold or 1 silver ball. The probability of drawing that second golden ball is now 50/50.

The probability is either 100% or 0% depending on which box was drawn from. You can't say there is a 50% chance, because if the gold/silver box as taken, there is a 0% chance as the second ball inside will never be gold if the initial ball was gold.

I hide each of them under a cup.

Now I ask you to pick a cup and reveal what color the sweet is.

You pick a cup.

Underneath it is a white sweet.

What is the probablity that the sweet under the other cup is also white?


Now let's word it another way.

You pick a cup.

IF the sweet underneath is a white sweet,

What is the probablity that the sweet under the other cup is also white?


Both of those questions essentially mean the same thing and give the same answer of 0.

Allow me to elaborate. The initial odds are 33% per box because they're three boxes. Picking one does not change the initial odds and your odds are still 33% for picking that one box.

33%

>>677669249
Let's say you select boxes at random, and repeat a large number of times. On average, you will select each box 1/3 of the time. So, 1/3 of the time you will pick the first box (and get a gold ball) and 1/3 of the time you will select the middle box (and get a gold ball half the time, resuling in a 1/6 of the time overall), and 1/3 of the time you will select the third box and get a silver ball. So, given that the ball is gold, it is twice as likely to have come from the first box than the second.

>>677670104
It doesnt matter how many balls exist. What matters is which box you are pulling from. There becomes a 50% chance you are pulling from 2g box, and a 50% chance you are pulling from GS box.

THANK YOU
IM SCRATCHING MY EYE BALLS OUT
THE AUTISTS ARE HAVING THE BALLS TO TRY AND PROVE THEIR 33% and 1/2 PROBABILITIES

STOOOOP YOU DUMB FUCKS
NO WONDER NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN GAMBLE
FUCKING 50 50 EVERYTHING WHOOO
NO MATE
IT'S 2/3

>>677669691
yes, but when you pick a box, the contents of the other boxes become irrelevant.

>>677670488
THE QUESTION ASKED SPECIFICALLY THE PROBABILITY OF GRABBING A GOLD BALL. IT DIDN'T ASK THE PROBABILITY OF THE BOXES YOU AUTIST

>>677664365
>>677664840
>>677664951
wrong
and I have a major in math and logic ;-)

>>677662400
1/3
Its about what box you pock. Only one box gives you two gold balls

>>677670562
YES I KNOW
WTF R U ON ABOUT?

>>677662400
1/3
Its about what box you pick. Only one box gives you two gold balls

>>677670506
>>677670112
Actually the way the question is written it is a 50% chance. Its only 2/3 IF you ask the question "if you pick a gold ball, whats the chance that the second ball in that same box is also gold." The way its written here, it is already given that you've picked one gold ball and so that first draw does not factor into the probability.

Are they real gold?

>>677670925
I think you should consider redoing that major

2/3

>>677670104
There's only one possible box fucknuts. You can't pull the same ball out and you can't pull from a different box. That leaves two choices. The first choice only matters for the process of elimination. Two boxes left. If box 1was chosen I.e. xx then you must choose x again. If box 2 was chosen I.e. xy then you must choose y. Only two possible outcomes. You are under the assumption that x is distinguishable from x when in fact x is x.

Someone call Monty Hall.

This thread is full of the most retarded reasoning I've ever seen

Any1 that says 2/3 is a fucking moron

>>677662400
1/3%

>>677671069
They're most likely gold alloys because pure gold can be bent and dented easily. These images display smooth and dent-less balls, thus they're most likely gold alloys.

>>677670506
Question asks what is the likelihood of chosing the (1) double gold box at the beginning

Because chosing the double gold box is the ONLY WAY to pickup a SECOND gold ball from the box you chose

you have a 33% chance to chose doubl gold box at start right?

So now you are abou to pickup second ball

Well the only way for second ball to be gold is if you had chosen the double gold ball box

Which you had a 33% chance to do

This you STILL only have a 33% chance to pickup that second gold ball

Since it I a 100% chance that IF YOU CHOSE DOUBLE GOLD BOX then your second gold ball will be gold

33% is answer
You all go back to school

>>677671320
This exactly fucking this.

>>677670488
Checked.

The odds are still 33%. Two gold balls are only in one box of the three.

If you were given ANOTHER CHOICE, the odds would change.

You can not choose a different box, so the odds are still the same as the first attempt. Looking at one retrieved ball is a red herring, just a way to prolong the answer.

repeating your wrong answer doesn't change the facts, honey.

Look at >>677671320 this guy explained it in a way that even you can understand it ;-)

is that java ?

You grabbed one gold ball, not two

Autist

>>677671066
I'm sorry you're such a faggot, and that you don't understand probability. The few smart faggots in this thread have tried to explain it, and you still don't get it. I'm not even going to try.

BTW, your dubs are the correct answer.

Another way to represent the problem with cups where you can only take the balls from top
There are 2 possibilities where after first gold the second is gold and 1 where after first gold the second is silver. Again, it's 2 out of 3.

>>677671569
Hi honey bitch face.
You grabbed one gold ball, not two

1/2 I think

>>677671569
That would only make sense if you could change boxes. At this point you already made your choice and odds are still the same

>>677671568
The question is asked after the third box is eliminated. It did not ask what your odds are originally. It asked that knowing you eliminated one box, what are the odds the next ball will be gold. Which is 50%.

>>677670781
It actually did. It asked what are the odds the NEXT ball you grab out of the SAME box is gold. Since you ELIMINATED the SS box, it leaves the GG box and the GS box, which means that its 50%. Read it. It fucking asks what are the odds the NEXT BALL you grab will be gold. That means 1 box is eliminated.

>>677671320
Beeing this stupid deserves a price, or a diagnosis. Congrats you big fat faggot.

lele

I can see the perspective of the 1/2ers
I can see the perspective of 2/3ers
But where the fuck is 33% coming from?

>>677671695
this is so tard it has to be b8. these retards probably go to the casino and lose all their money at the roulette table because they think they know some shit about numbers. the ball is either going to be silver or gold, and neither have higher odds of being picked.. so it's 50/50 u fucking turd. lol

>>677672514
Tytytytytytytyty

>>677672602
no problm

>>677672533
because you have a 1/3 chance of selecting the gg box

>>677671892
>>677671604
Hes not saying you grabbed 2. Hes saying 1 of 2 possibilities exist. Either you grabbed the ball from GG or the ball from GS. Either way its 50%. There might be a total of 2 gold balls still remaining, but the probability has to do with which box you choose not how many balls exist in those boxs. How many balls exist in those boxs does not effect the likelyhood. You either choose out of box A or box B meaning theres a 50 50 chance.

>>677672585
>he ball is either going to be silver or gold, and neither have higher odds of being picked
You are so thoroughly retarded...

>>677670020
>Theres still 2 boxs remaining, with an equal chance that you could be grabbing from either

Wrong. you are twice as likely to have th all gold box

2/3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand's_box_paradox

/b/ is fucking retarded tonight

>>677672514
Being this retarded

>>677672789
Oh yeah wikipedia thats a good source, damn. I already read it. Doesnt mean its correct.

>>677672896
prove it wrong

>>677672974
What's your source?

>>677672748
In the perspective of the 1/2 probability, you would have different probables for each of the two boxes. It asked for the probability of the gold balls within the boxes. It tricks you into considering the boxes by eliminating the 3rd box before you solve the probability. For you just deal with the balls, you'll get 2/3

It's 50%.

You pull a gold out of the box. Meaning it's not the double silver.

This leaves the two possible options that the box you pulled from is either the double gold, or gold/silver.

Because the box can ONLY be one of these two FIXED options, the box paradox logic cannot be applied to this question as it assumes all three remaining balls (2 gold and 1 silver) have equal chance to be collected out of ONE box.

This is not the case however as there are only 2 balls in every box and the one we are selecting only has one in it now. Meaning that if it's the double gold, there is a 100 chance to get another gold. Or if it's the mixed, there will be 0 chance to get another gold.

Basic arithmetic gives the answer. 100+0/2 = 50

>>677672145
The odds don't change if you can't change your choice, faggot.

Originally his odds of choosing two gold balls is 33%. That doesn't change if you know the fucking outcome.

If you win the lottey, did you odds become 100% to win magically? Fucking idiot

>>677672974
>>677673041
Find fault in my logic without quoting wikipedia.

3 boxs. 1 is eliminated. Whether or not the 2nd ball will be gold depends on which box you picked. 2 boxs. You picked 1. 50/50. Does not matter how many gold balls exist between those 2 boxs. You are still either in box 1 or box 2. Where is the flaw in logic?

>>677671066

You're an idiot.

You have 2 balls.

1 of them is cancerous.

The other is perfectly healthy.

The doctor removes the cancerous ball. What is the probability that you are left with 1 healthy ball?

Answer = 1

IF IF IF IF IF the doctor removes the cancerous ball, what is the probability that you are left with 1 healthy ball?

Answer = 1 again

They mean the same thing and you are an idiot

Answer is 2/3 that the next ball is gold.

>tonight
Pretty much always, when it comes to questions about probability. Any one of these retards could have just looked up this well-known probability exercise, but instead they used their shitty common sense to try to justify incorrect answers. The probability is 2/3, if you don't believe it, go fucking look it up.

>>677673238
well stated. the 2/3 would be correct if all the balls were in one sac, then we would be laughing about the fag with 3 balls in his sack

>>677673216
It asks what the likelyhood of grabbing a gold ball is AFTER you already eliminate one of the boxs. Its not a trick question.
>>677673293
Yes, they do. Ever watch poker? When cards get shown the chances of a winning hand go up or down based on the new information, even though the hands will not change nor will the card that will be flipped next, its set in stone, but with MORE INFORMATION the statistics change.
