The probability of pulling a black ball out of a glass jar is 1/C. The probability of pulling a black ball out of a glass jar and breaking the jar is 1/Y. What is the probability of breaking the jar?
Pick one:
A) 1/(XY)
B) C/Y
C) Y/X
D) 1/(X+Y)
E) 1/(X-Y)
P of pulling a black ball out of a glass jar AND breaking the jar = 1/Y   P of pulling a black ball out of a glass jar is 1/C   Lets say P of breaking the jar = n   That means 1/C*n=1/Y   n= C/Y   C/Y is the answer
