Suppose that there are 2 red balls, 1 blue ball, and 2 white balls in an urn. A ball is drawn and its color is noted. After the ball is drawn, it is set aside and is replaced with a blue ball. Another ball is then drawn from the urn. Find the probability the first ball drawn was red given that the second ball drawn was blue.

In an urn, there are 3 blue balls and 2 red balls. A ball is selected at random without replacement. Regardless of what color the first ball was, a blue ball is added to the urn (so there are a total of 5 balls in the urn now). Then a second ball is selected from the urn. a) What is the chance that the second ball selected from the urn is blue? b) Given that the second ball is blue,...
