You have an urn of 50 red and 50 green balls. Roll a die and add a red ball for every pip. What is the probability of the next ball you take being red?

I say both can be a question in Statistics I where you calculate probabilities based on combinations.

So I'll say it depends on the level of education for how the question gets interpreted and saying those who never took Bayesian reasoning and consider n unknown are wrong gets elitist.
