Question

The probability of drawing two nickels from a bag at random without replacement is 33/95 . The probability of drawing a nickel first is 3/5 . What is the probability of drawing a second nickel, given that the first coin drawn was nickel?

Answer 1

The probability that two events occur is equal to the product of the individual events happening or occurring. For this item, we let x be the probability that is unknown such that the relationship between them may be expressed as,
(3/5)(x) = 33/95
The value of x from the equation is 11/19.
