Question:
You are given 50 white marbles, 50 black marbles and two jars. You need to put 100 marbles in any of these two jars. The jars will then be shaken and you will be asked to pick one marbles from either jar. How would you distribute the marbles in two are to maximize the possibility of picking a white marble blind folded?

- The probability of a boy winning a game is \( \frac{2}{3} \). Let \( n \) denote the least number of times he must play the game so that the probability of winning the game at least once is more than 90%, and \( X \) denotes that number of times he wins the game. Hence \( n \), mean, variance, and standard deviation of the random variable \( X \) are respectively:
(A) 3
(B) \( \frac{2}{3} \)
(C) 2
(D) 0.81
