The box contains 8 balls: 4 red, 1 green, 3 blue. Two balls are drawn at random, one after the other without replacement. What is the probability that the first ball was blue, given that second was red_________________?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add all the numbers and put 3 over that number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Say what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add all which numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/16 was not correct

Gummy, its 8 balls in total, not 8, 4, 1, and 3. So its 3/7. Essentially its Probability of Desired result / Total Results. Since a red ball was already picked, you subtract one from total results.
