6. You have a jar full of M&Ms. 8 are Black, 5 are Green, and 3 are Yellow. Let B means you drew a Black, G means you drew a Green and Y means you drew a Yellow. A. Assume you draw one M&M at random for each trial and replace it before the next trial. I. II. III. Is the first draw Independent from the 2nd draw? Does P(1st Draw is G | 1st Draw isn't B) = P(1st Draw is G)? Does P(1st Draw is G | 2nd Draw isn't B) = P(1st Draw is G)?

### Problem 6: Probability with M&Ms

You have a jar full of M&Ms. The distribution is as follows: 8 are Black, 5 are Green, and 3 are Yellow. Let:
- **B** represent drawing a Black M&M.
- **G** represent drawing a Green M&M.
- **Y** represent drawing a Yellow M&M.

#### Part A: Drawing with Replacement

Assume you draw one M&M at random for each trial and replace it before the next trial.

1. **Is the first draw independent from the second draw?**
   
2. **Does the probability that the first draw is Green given that the first draw isn't Black equal the probability that the first draw is Green?**
   \[
   P(\text{1st Draw is G } | \text{ 1st Draw isn't B}) = P(\text{1st Draw is G})
   \]

3. **Does the probability that the first draw is Green given that the second draw isn't Black equal the probability that the first draw is Green?**
   \[
   P(\text{1st Draw is G } | \text{ 2nd Draw isn't B}) = P(\text{1st Draw is G})
   \]
