Before colour TV balls used in statistics were coloured black and white.

Statistical questions were posed asking, say, the probability of selecting a white ball from a mixture of black and white balls hidden in a bag (sometimes white and black balls). A practical set up that, over a large number of tries, would show that the maths being examined was (statistically) good.

Since colour TV there has been a preponderance of the use of coloured balls in the experiments and, often, one of the colours used is green. Also, using colour allows more than two different things to be the subject of statistical experiment.

Of course colour TVs had nothing to do with this but the rest is true - honest.

What colour is a green ball in white light?

A green ball appears green in white light because the ball reflects light in the green wavelength range and absorbs other wavelengths. White light contains all the different colors of the visible spectrum, so when it hits the green ball, only the green light is reflected back to our eyes.


In golf if your opponent's ball knocks your ball into the cup what is the ruling?

There are two scenarios; 1. On the green- If you and your opponent are on the green and he hits you ball and knocks it into the cup, or hits your ball at all, you replace your ball (to as near where it was before it was hit as possible) and he plays his from where it lies, and he shall receive a 2 shot penalty. 2. If your ball is on the green and your opponent is off the green and he hits yours, you replace your ball as near as possible to where you believe your ball was before he hit your ball. There is no penalty.
