One is blue on both sides. One is blue on one side, red on the other. I pull one card from the bag and place it on the table. It's showing a blue face. What's the probability that the card's hidden face is is blue? B) I'm holding a bag of 1000 cards. One is blue on both sides. One is blue on one side, red on the other. The rest are red on both sides. I pull one card from the bag and place it on the table. It's showing a blue face. What's the probability that the card's hidden face is is blue? None, because you didn't say the cards were blue. The way these are worded you could be saying the bag is blue with a red interior. That makes it blue on both (out) sides as well as blue on one (in)side and red on the other (in)side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this: Right click to open the image in a new tab than copy/paste the url into the 'insert other media'. Don't use the url you get when you click the icon for one. They don't work on this forum that way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red faced cards are discarded. Blue faced cards are turned over. thru trials we observe that the turned over face is blue 50% of the time and red the other 50% from this we can calculate the probable least number of cards in the bag and the arrangement of the blue and red faces Edited July 23, 2019 by Mollymews probable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way these are worded you could be saying the bag is blue with a red interior. That makes it blue on both (out) sides as well as blue on one (in)side and red on the other (in)side. i gave this a bit of thought, as it leads to introducing a new (environmental) factor. The lining of the bag affects the color faces of the card in the first case (the 2/3) when the environment can randomly (uniformly) flip both faces to the opposite color then the probability 2/3 is unchanged in the second case (the baynesian 1/2) then under these environmental conditions (flipping both faces) the upturned face will can always be red edit: i edited this as it wasn't clear what i wrote Edited July 23, 2019 by Mollymews flipping both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
