So there is 5 red and 6 white card. Suppose you draw two cards in succession without replacement, what is the probability that given the second card draw is white, the first one will be white.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the given information, there are 5 red and 6 white cards. Here, two cards are drawn without replacement. The total number of cards is 11(=5+6).

 

The first white card is drawn from the 6 white cards is 6C1 ways without replacement.

The remaining white cards are 5. Hence, the second white card is drawn from 5 cards in 5C1 ways.

The first red card is drawn from the 5 red cards is 5C1 ways without replacement.

The second red card is drawn from the 6 white cards is 6C1 ways without replacement.
