The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of drawing a red ball after a green ball has been drawn from the urn, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls**: - There are 6 red balls and 9 green balls in the urn. - Total number of balls = 6 (red) + 9 (green) = 15 balls. 2. **Understand the Drawing Process**: - We are drawing two balls one after the other without replacement. - We want to find the probability of drawing a red ball (event A) after a green ball has been drawn first (event B). 3. **Calculate the Probability of Drawing a Green Ball First**: - The probability of drawing a green ball first (event B) is: \[ P(B) = \frac{\text{Number of green balls}}{\text{Total number of balls}} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5} \] 4. **Calculate the Remaining Balls After Drawing a Green Ball**: - After drawing one green ball, the total number of balls left in the urn is: \[ 15 - 1 = 14 \text{ balls} \] - The number of red balls remains the same, which is 6. 5. **Calculate the Probability of Drawing a Red Ball After a Green Ball**: - The probability of drawing a red ball after a green ball has been drawn is: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{\text{Number of red balls}}{\text{Total number of remaining balls}} = \frac{6}{14} = \frac{3}{7} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the probability of drawing a red ball after a green ball has been drawn is: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Summary: The probability of drawing a red ball after a green ball has been drawn from the urn is \( \frac{3}{7} \).
