[algogeeks] probablity
I was given 3 packets, with 2 pens each. 1st Packet has 2 blue pens. 2nd Packet has 1 blue pen,1 black pen. 3rd Packet has 2 black pens. I took any one packet and pulled out one pen. It turned out to be a blue one. What is the probability that the next pen from the same packet will also be a blue one? -- Regards, Kamakshi kamakshi...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.

Re: [algogeeks] probablity
1/2 you got the blue pen so it is for sure that is one of the first two packets, so you are left with a black pen and a blue pen and you have to find the probability of finding a blue pen among them On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 9:14 PM, Kamakshii Aggarwal kamakshi...@gmail.comwrote: I was given 3 packets, with 2 pens each. 1st Packet has 2 blue pens. 2nd Packet has 1 blue pen,1 black pen. 3rd Packet has 2 black pens.
