You can put this solution on YOUR website! A vendor has 14 helium balloons for sale: 9 are yellow, 3 are red, and 2 are green.
A balloon is selected at random and sold.
If the balloon sold is yellow, what is the probability that the next balloon, selected at random, is also yellow?
----
After the 1st yellow is selected and sold there are 8 yellow remaining
of the 13 balloons still available.
---
P(select yellow) = 8/13
