Question 1200238: A jar contains 5 red marbles, numbered 1 to 5, and 12 blue marbles numbered 1 to 12.
a) A marble is chosen at random. If you're told the marble is red, what is the probability that it has the number 4 on it?

b) The first marble is replaced, and another marble is chosen at random. If you're told the marble has the number 11 on it, what is the probability the marble is red?
