A box contains 3 green balls and 9 blue balls. Two balls are selected at random one after the other without replacement. What is the probability that the second one is blue?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17/22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Average the 2 probabilities post 1st removal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says the answer is 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you figure out the probability of getting a blue ball on the first pull?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't it be 9/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, good. Now, the ball is not being replaced, so you know there are only 11 balls on the second pull. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes
