There are only r red counters and g green counters in a bag.

A counter is taken at random from the bag.

The probability that the counter is green is 37

The counter is put back in the bag.

2 more red counters and 3 more green counters are put in the bag.
A counter is taken at random from the bag. The probability that the counter is green is 613
