Question

The probability of drawing two red candies without replacement is 1335 , and the probability of drawing one red candy is 25 . What is the probability of drawing a second red candy, given that the first candy is red?

27/35
13/70
13/14
26/175

Answer 1

13/14 I think

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C. 13/14

Explanation:

`\text{Probability of drawing the first candy red = }(2)/(5)`

Let the probability of drawing second candy red be x

`\text{Now, Probability of drawing the two candies red = }(13)/(35)`

So, Probability of drawing two candies red = Probability of drawing one candy red × Probability of drawing second candy red

`(13)/(35)=(2)/(5)* x`

`\implies x = (13)/(35)* (5)/(2)`

`\implies x = (13)/(14)`

`\textbf{The probability of drawing second candy red = }\bf(13)/(14)`

Therefore, The correct option is C. 13/14
