Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.
Given that the bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls, the probability of picking a red ball
p(r) = 8/(8+3) = 8/11
Probability of picking a white ball
= 3/11
when a red ball is picked first, the total number of balls reduces to 10 hence the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red
