Problem 1. There are two opaque, externally identical bags, each containing 2 marbles. One bag contains 2 black marbles. The other bag contains 1 black marble and 1 white marble.
You choose a bag and draw a marble from it, without looking inside. The marble is black. What should you conclude are the odds that the remaining marble in the chosen bag is black?

Problem 2. There are three opaque, externally identical bags. One bag contains 2 black marbles. The other two bags each contain 1 black marble and 1 white marble.
Again you choose a bag and draw a marble from it, without looking inside. The marble is black. What should you conclude are the odds that the remaining marble in your chosen bag is black?

You can connect Problem 2 to our random door opening and a goat being revealed, in the Monty Fall (with an F) problem.
