A garden has 8 white roses and 11 red roses. One rose is plucked from the garden and then one more rose is plucked, without replacement.

Let the event W = plucking a white rose the first time;

and event R = plucking a red rose the second time.

In two or more complete sentences, explain the meaning of probabilities P (R/W) and P (W/R). Do they have same value?
