SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given probabilities


\begin{gathered} Pr(2\text{ greens\rparen}=(1)/(11) \\ Pr(one\text{ green\rparen}=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}

STEP 2: Write the probability formula for probability of second green given first green


\begin{gathered} Pr(G2|G1)=\frac{Pr(2\text{ greens\rparen}}{Pr(one\text{ green\rparen}} \\ =(1)/((11)/((1)/(3)))=(1)/(11)/(1)/(3)=(1)/(11)*(3)/(1)=(3)/(11) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 3/11
