Question 145951: There are 6 white balls, 3 black balls and 9 blue balls in a basket.If a ball is picked and random without replacement, what is the probability that the second picked ball is a blue ball? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 6 white balls, 3 black balls and 9 blue balls in a basket.If a ball is picked and random without replacement, what is the probability that the second picked ball is a blue ball?
--------------------------
P(blue on 2nd) = P(blue | blue) + P(blue |not blue)
----------
= 9/18*8/17 + 9/18*9/17 = 1/2
