***Before I ask, my question got booted and I'm not sure why. I'm studying for a TEAS exam for nursing entrance and I am not taking as statistics or probability course. However, this question came up in a study manual and I'm having a hard time learning the material.

Demonstrate, with diagrams and words that you will always end up with as many white marbles in the black pile as black marbles in the white pile.
