Consider a box which has 7 red balls and 4 green balls:
a. Find the probability of drawing a red ball on the first draw and a green ball on the second draw, if you do not return the first ball to the box.
---------------
P(green | red) = (7/11)(4/10) = 14/55
==========================================
b. Find the probability of drawing a green ball on the first draw and a green ball on the second draw, if you do return the first ball to the box.
P(green | green) = (4/11)^2 = 16/121
==========================================
Cheers,
Stan H.
