you have a bag of chocolate candy. Ten of them are red, 7 are brown, 12 are green, and 9 are blue. What is the probability that you pick a red candy, given that you have already picked a blue candy and have not replaced it?

Altogether there are 38 chocolate candies, if you take a blue one away you will have 37 chocolate candies so that means the possibility of getting a red chocolate candy is 10/37 because there are 10 red chocolate candies in amongst the 37 chocolate candies.
