A small treasure chest contains two drawers. Drawer I contains three gold and four silver coins and drawer II contains five silver and three gold coins. A drawer is randomly selected and from that drawer two coins are chosen at random (and without replacement). (a) What is the probability that the selected coins are gold and silver? (b) Given that the selected coins are gold and silver, what is the probability they came from drawer I?
