Question
A box contains one yellow, two red, and three green balls. Two balls are randomly chosen without replacement.

Define the following events:

- \( A : \{ \text{One of the balls is yellow} \} \)
- \( B : \{ \text{At least one ball is red} \} \)
- \( C : \{ \text{Both balls are green} \} \)
- \( D : \{ \text{Both balls are of the same color} \} \)

Find the following conditional probabilities:

(a) \( P(\overline{A} \mid B) = \frac{1}{3} \)

(b) \( P(D \mid \overline{B}) = \frac{1}{10} \)

(c) \( P(D \mid \overline{C}) = \frac{1}{12} \)
