Maximize The Chance of White Ball

There are two empty bowls in a room. You have 50 white balls and 50 black balls. After you place the balls in the bowls, a random ball will be picked from a random bowl. Distribute the balls (all of them) into the bowls to maximize the chance of picking a white ball. 

This is the way to maximize the chances!

Way to Maximize White Ball Probability

What was the task given?

Let's distribute 50 black ball in one bowl & other 50 white ball in another bowl.

Then,

Probability (White Ball) = (1/2)(0/50) + (1/2)(50/50) = 0.5.

Now, if 1 white ball is kept in 1 bowl and other 49 white + 50 black = 99 balls in other bowl, then


Probability (White Ball) = (1/2)(1/1) + (1/2)(49/99) = 0.747.

That's nearly equal to 3/4 which is certainly higher than the previous case. And that's the way of maximizing the probability of white ball.
