A bag contains 16 yellow marbles, 6 green marbles, and 7 red marbles.
What is the chance of drawing a yellow marble?
Ans: P(yellow) = 16/29
-------------------------------------
If a yellow marble is drawn the first time and then a second marble is drawn without replacement, what is the probability of drawing a second yellow marble.
P(2nd yellow | 1st yellow) = 15/28
