    If the first ball is replaced and that we are not concern about the color of the first ball, then there is no concern for the first ball at all.

    Total number of balls = 5 + 12 = 17

    Total number of purple balls = 12

    P (second one is purple) = 12/17

    Answer: 12/17

    5/17 (12/16) + 12/17 (11/16) =

    =60/289+132/289=

    =192/289
