You are given three white balls, one red ball, and two identical boxes. You are asked to distribute the balls in the boxes in
any way you like. You then are asked to select a box (after the boxes have been shuffled) and to pick a ball at random from that box. If the ball is red you win a prize. How should you distribute the balls in the boxes to maximize your chances of winning? Justify your reasoning.
Put all the white balls in one box and the red ball in the other so you have a 50% chance of winning if you put 1 red ball and a white now you have a 25% chance cause you have a 50% chance in choosing the right box then you have to chose the right ball which would be 50%
