题目
A box contains white marbles and black marbles, all identical except for color. If one marble is drawn at random, the probability that it is a white marble is . Six white marbles are added to the box, but no black marbles are added. Now, if one marble is drawn at random, the probability that it is a white marble is .
选项
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
盒中最少有8颗弹珠(其中7颗为白色)。若增加6颗弹珠,则有13颗白色弹珠,总数为14颗,此时新概率为13/14 < 14/15。一般情况下,初始时有7N颗白色弹珠和8N颗弹珠,加入6颗白色弹珠后,概率变为(7N+6)/(8N+6)。为证明该一般情况,令(7N+6)/(8N+6) < 14/15,则:
(7N+6)×15 < (8N+6)×14
105N + 90 < 112N + 84
-7N < -6
N > 6/7
由于N为正整数,上式恒成立。因此正确答案为B。
