Two balls are selected at random from a bag with three red balls and two yellow balls. Find…

a) probability that the first ball is red

3/5 . 2/4 + 3/5 . 2/4 = 3/5

b) probability that the second ball is red

2/5 . 3/4 + 3/5 . 2/4 = 3/5

c) probability that both are red

(3c2)/(5c2) = 3/10

d) probability that the second ball is red, given that the first ball is red

P(A|B) = P(AB)/P(B) = (3/10)/(3/5) = 1/2

Are my workings correct?
