Question 1038834: There are 3 blue balls, 5 red balls, and 2 white balls in a bag of balls. If a person selects tow of the balls, what is the probability that the second one is blue given that the first one was white? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the first one was white, then there are 3 blue balls, 5 red balls, and one white ball left. So the chances are 3/(3+5+1)=3/9, or 1/3!!!!!!!!!!!!!
