    P (B|A) = 2/9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let A be the event that the first draw is blue marble

    Let B be the event that the second draw is yellow marble.

    P (B|A) = P (B∩A) / P (A) since P (A) ≠ 0

    P (B∩A) = P (B) * P (A|B)

    P (B) = 6 / (3+5+4+6)

    P (B) = 6/18

    P (B) = 1/3

    P (A|B) = 6/3

    P (A|B) = 2

    P (B∩A) = 1/3 * 2

    P (B∩A) = 2/3

    P (B|A) = P (B∩A) / P (A)

    P (B|A) = (2/3) / 3

    P (B|A) = 2/3 * 1/3

    P (B|A) = 2/9
