Question 453102: I know that this question has been asked but I have a question about the 2 blue balls. Do they come into play at all in the equation?
an urn contains 12 balls identical in every respect except color. there are 3 red balls, 7 green balls, and 2 blue balls. you draw two balls from the urn but replace the first ball.
