Probability of marbles
You have 50 red marbles, 50 blue marbles, and 2 large jars. The game is as
follows: after all the marbles are placed into the 2 jars, you will pick a jar
at random, and then a marble at random out of the jar. Your goal is to try to
maximize the chances that you select a red marble. You are free to allocate the
marbles however you want (including all 100 marbles into one jar, and none into
the other), but all 100 marbles must be in either one jar or the other. How do
you allocate the marbles, and what are the exact odds of getting a red marble
using this scheme?
