Example 3.24 from Statistics, 3.5 Tree and Venn Diagrams
g. Using the tree diagram, calculate P(B on the 2nd draw GIVEN R on the first draw).
Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.
g. P(B on 2nd draw|R on 1st draw) =
There are 9 + 24 outcomes that have R on the first draw (9 RR and 24 RB). The sample space is then 9 + 24 = 33. Twenty-four of the 33 outcomes have B on the second draw. The probability is then .
How did it go?
