We have this picture and the questing is:
What is the probability the tile is worth 3
points given the tile is a consonant?

and
A player selects two tiles blindly without replacement. What is the probability the
second tile is a vowel given the first tile is a consonant?

Is this like the Urn example with ball replacement? would I solve it the same way? any examples would be nice. Thank you

How many tiles with consonants are there? How many of those are worth 3 points?

If a player selects one of the 10 tiles, how many are left? If the tile selected was a consonant, how many of the tiles left are vowels?
