Exercise 4 — 7 points Theme: Probability An urn contains white and black tokens all indistinguishable to the touch. A game consists of drawing at random successively and with replacement two tokens from this urn. The following game rule is established:
a player loses 9 euros if the two tokens drawn are white;
a player loses 1 euro if the two tokens drawn are black;
a player wins 5 euros if the two tokens drawn are of different colors.
We consider that the urn contains 2 black tokens and 3 white tokens.
[a.] Model the situation using a probability tree.
[b.] Calculate the probability of losing $9\,\text{\euro}$ in one game.
We now consider that the urn contains 3 white tokens and at least two black tokens but we do not know the exact number of black tokens. We will call $N$ the number of black tokens.
[a.] Let $X$ be the random variable giving the gain of the game for one game. Determine the probability distribution of this random variable.
[b.] Solve the inequality for real $x$: $$-x^2 + 30x - 81 > 0$$
[c.] Using the result of the previous question, determine the number of black tokens the urn must contain so that this game is favorable to the player.
[d.] How many black tokens should the player request in order to obtain a maximum average gain?
We observe 10 players who try their luck by playing one game of this game, independently of each other. We assume that 7 black tokens have been placed in the urn (with 3 white tokens). What is the probability of having at least 1 player winning 5 euros?

An urn contains white and black tokens all indistinguishable to the touch.\\
A game consists of drawing at random successively and with replacement two tokens from this urn.\\
The following game rule is established:

\item a player loses 9 euros if the two tokens drawn are white;
\item a player loses 1 euro if the two tokens drawn are black;
\item a player wins 5 euros if the two tokens drawn are of different colors.
