Suppose that there are 1 red ball, 1 blue ball, and 3 white balls in an urn. A ball is drawn and it’s color is noted. After the ball is drawn, it is set aside and is replaced with a blue ball. Another ball is then drawn from the urn. Find the probability the first ball drawn was red given that the second ball drawn was blue.
