{{ block title }} Boxes, Marbles and Sequences {{ endblock }} {{ block content }}

There are two types of boxes full of four marbles. The Yellow box has 3 yellow marbles and 1 green marble, while the Green box has 3 green marbles and 1 yellow marble. Then, the probability of drawing a single yellow marble is equal to 75% if the box selected was Yellow, and 25% if the box selected was Green. The next table summarizes the probabilities associated with each box:

Box Marbles % of yellow balls % of green balls

75 25

25 75

In each round,

  1. The computer randomly selects a Yellow or Green box.
  2. From the box selected, the computer will draw a sequence of 10 marbles, recording the color and replacing the marble in its box after each draw.
  3. You and another participant (participant 2) will observe that sequence of 10 marbles.

Generating Random Sequences

You can click on each box to generate a different sequence of 10 marbles drawn from each one.

Click the 'Next' button if the process to generate the sequences is clear, or ask the experimenter if you have any question.
