    Answer:1/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is an independent event i. e the occurrence of one does not affect the other

    Finding E (Y2|Y1) means E (Y2) i. e probability that Y2 is selected if it is E (Y1|Y2), this means probability of drawing Y1.

    Since this an independent event,

    E (Y2|Y1) = E (Y2)

    Since three balls are drawn at random, probability of drawing Y2 will be 3/9 i. e 1/3

    Note that the sum total of the balls will be the total outcome.
