First box contains 4 red balls and 2 green balls and the second box contains 4 green and two red balls. By design, the probabilities of selecting box 1 or box 2 at random are 1/3 for box 1 and 2/3 for box 2. A box is selected at random and a ball is selected at random from it. Given that the ball selected is green, what is the probability it was selected from the second box? Answer is Blank 1 --Use 2 decimal places
