One stack of cards consists of four red and six black cards. A second stack of cards consists of twelve red cards. Both stacks are shuffled separately. Then a stack is selected at random and from that stack three cards are selected at random and with replacement. What is the probability that the three selected cards are all red? Given that the three selected cards are all red what is the probability they came from stack one?
