Suppose you have a bag containing 5 red balls, 4 green balls, and 3 blue balls. If you draw two balls at random from the bag without replacement, what is the probability that both balls are red? If you draw one ball and then another without replacement, what is the probability that the second ball is green given that the first ball was red? How can you use the concepts of conditional probability and Bayes' theorem to solve more complex problems in probability?

At a local restaurant, you are allowed to pick one side with your dinner. Because you can only choose one, your side choice is mutually exclusive of all the other sides to chose from.

We have two boxes, box A (6 blue marbles and 8 red marbles) and box B (6 blue marbles and 2 red marbles). We randomly pick one box, and randomly pick a marble from it. If the marble we picked was red, what is the probability that we drew from the first box?
A bag contains 5red balls and 4 green balls. A ball is taken at random, and then put back. A second ball is then taken from the bag. The results are independent because the first ball is put back before the second is taken out. The probability that: (a) both balls are the same color is Blank 1 (b) the balls are of different colors is Blank 2 (c) at least one of the balls is green Blank 3 Round off your final answer to five decimal places. #.#####
