You can put this solution on YOUR website! A box contains 4 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 2 marbles are drawn at random without replacement. What is the probability that the second marble drawn is blue given that:
(a) the first marble drawn is red
P(blue | red) = 3/(3+3) = 1/2
-------------------------------------
(b) the first marble drawn is blue
P(blue | blue) = 2/6 = 1/3
