Freddie has two bags of marbles.

Bag X contains 7 red marbles and 3 blue marbles.

Bag Y contains 4 red marbles and 1 blue marble.

Freddie chooses one of the bags at random. A marble is removed at random from that bag and not replaced. A new red marble is now added to each bag. A second marble is then removed at random from the same bag that the first marble had been removed from.

(a) Draw a tree diagram to represent this information, showing the probability on each of the branches. [3]

(b) Find the probability that both of the marbles removed from the bag are the same colour. [4]

(c) Find the probability that bag Y is chosen given that the marbles removed are not both the same colour. [2]
