You know that 0.90 is the probability of seeing a guy with a blue shirt. Suppose that you see three guys walking out of the classroom and it is independent (Independent events are those events whose occurrence is not dependent on any other event.) What is the probability that the second guy did not wear blue given the first and the last guy wore blue? Should we use geometric probability distribution?
