Question

'Two identical urns contain balls. One of the urns has 6 red balls and 3 blue balls. The other urn has 5 red balls and 8 blue balls. An urn is chosen at random and two balls are drawn at random from this urn, without replacement: What is the probability that the second ball is red, given that the first ball is red? "Type your answer as a fraction example: 5/2'
