You choose two different songs on a music playlist at random. Out of 80 songs on the playlist, 36 are hip hop songs. The first song you choose is a hip hop song. What is the probability that the second song is also a hip hop song?

Answer:

35/79

Explanation:

Assuming you can't choose the same song a second time, the probability is 35/79.

If you can choose the same song, the probability is 36/80, which reduces to 9/20.
