An urn contains a red, a white, and two blue marbles. Consider the experiment that consists in recording the colors of two marbles extracted sequentially but totally at random from the urn. We model this experiment with the sample space: S = {(r,r), (r, w), (r,b), (w,r), (b,r), (w,w), (w,b), (b, w), (6,b)}. (a) If the marbles are extracted without replacement from the urn, are the outcomes in S equally likely? (b) If instead the marbles are extracted with replacement from the urn, are the outcomes in S equally likely?
