 The probability that the second event B occurs given that the first event A has occurred can be found by dividing the probability that both events occurred by the probability that the first event has occurred. P(B|A) = CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY

 A box contains black chips and white chips. A person selects two chips without replacement. The probability of selecting a black chip and a white chip is 15/56, and the probability of selecting a black chip on the first draw is 3/8.  How many chips are there?  Create a Venn Diagram to represent the probabilities  Find the probability of selecting two white chips  Find the probability of selecting the white chip on the second draw, given that the first chip selected was a black chip.
