Question
A bag contains 4 Milky Way bars and 5 Snickers bars. Jerod picks a bar at random from the bag and replaces it back in the bag. He mixes the bars in the bag and then picks another bar at random. Construct a probability tree and calculate the probability that Jerod picks a Milky Way bar in his second draw.

A bag contains 4 Milky Way bars and 5 snickers bars.

Total number of bars is 4+5=9.

A bar is selected from the bag with replacement.

That is, the selection of bars are independent.

P(milky way bar)=4/9

P(snicker)=5/9
