We are given 4 yellow balls and 2 white balls. In total, this adds up to 6.

Divide the number of yellow balls to the total number of balls:

4/6 -> 2/3

We are also given 3 yellow and 2 white.

Divide the number of yellow balls to the total number of balls:

3/5

Divide both fractions together:

3/5 * 2/3 = 6/15 = 2/5

Best of Luck!

Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

There are 2 white and 4 yellow = 6

P(yellow) = yellow /total = 4/6 = 2/3

We keep the ball

Now there are 2 white and 3 yellow = 5

P(yellow) = yellow /total = 3/5

P ( yellow, keep, yellow) = 2/3 * 3/5 = 2/5
