Question

John has a bag of red and blue marbles. John choses 2 marbles without replacing the first. Let a be the event where the first marble chosen is red. Let b be the event where the second marble chosen is blue. Which statement explains what the equation P (B/A) =0.6 means for those events.

Answer 1

There is 0.6 chance that Joe a blue marble provided that he has already chosen a red marble

Explanation:

Given

`A \to Red` ---- first

`B \to Blue` ---- second

`P(B/A) = 0.60`

Required

Explain what it means

The options are not given. So, I will answer on a general terms.

`P(B/A) \to` is the event that B occurs given that A occurs

Using the terms in this question;

`P(B/A) \to` there is 0.6 chance that Joe a blue marble provided that he has already chosen a red marble
