      Question

      A bag contains 4 red, 5 blue, and 3 green balls. Two

      balls are drawn one by one without replacement. If it is given that at least one ball drawn is blue, what is the probability that both balls are blue?
      A 1/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2/9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3/7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      We need: P(both blue | at least one blue) = P(both blue) / P(at least one blue) P(both blue) = C(5,2) / C(12,2) = 10 / 66 = 5/33 P(at least one blue) = 1 - P(no blue) = 1 - C(7,2) / C(12,2) = 1 - 21/66 = 45/66 = 15/22 So, Probability = (5/33) Γ· (15/22) = (5/33) Γ— (22/15) = 2/9
