Two cards are drawn without replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 36 playing cards. What is the probability that the second card drawn is a spade given that the first card drawn was not a spade? What is the probability that the second card drawn is a spade given that the first card drawn was a spade? Can someone show me how to work this? Thank you.
