Each of k jars contains m white and n black balls. A ball is randomly chosen from jar 1 and transferred to jar 2, then a ball is randomly chosen from jar 2 and transferred to jar 3, etc. Finally, a ball is randomly chosen from jar k. Show that the probability that the last ball is white is the same as the probability that the first ball is white, i.e. , it is m/(m + n).
