A ball is drawn at random from Urn 1. If it is red, a second ball is drawn at random from Urn 2, but if it is black, the second ball is drawn at random from Urn 3.

a)  What is the probability of the second ball being drawn from Urn 3?

b)  What is the probability that the second ball is black, given that it is drawn from

Urn 2?

c)  What is the probability that the second ball is black?
