Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
i've attached three pictures. the first is the actual problem. so when i did it myself, i got that the first column of priors should all be 1/10, since we're assuming that the urn can contain 0 up to 9 red balls, for a total of 10 possibilities. the second picture is the answer, where it seems that i should have said 1/9 for the first column. the third picture is an example that seems to me to indicate that it should be 1/10. what am i missing?
