Question 62

Two bags, A A\,A and BBB, contain red, green and yellow counters. Bag A A\,A contains 3 red counters, 2 green counters and 4 yellow counters. Bag B B\,B contains 5 red counters, 4 green counters and 1 yellow counter. Taylor picks one counter at random from bag A A\,A and places it into bag BBB. She then picks one counter at random from bag BBB.

a.
