Suppose that there is a white urn containing three white balls and one red ball and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red. -please state answer in fraction-
