text: For example, in a bag of 2 red balls and 2 blue balls (4 balls in total), the probability of taking a red ball is 1 / 2 {\displaystyle 1/2} ; however, when taking a second ball, the probability of it being either a red ball or a blue ball depends on the ball previously taken, such as, if a red ball was taken, the probability of picking a red ball again would be 1 / 3 {\displaystyle 1/3} since only 1 red and 2 blue balls would have been remaining.
