A box contains only red and blue balls. You draw a red ball. Can you conclude that the next ball will be blue?

Hint
The first draw changes what is known, but not necessarily enough to determine the next color.

Answer

No.

Explanation

Unless the number of red and blue balls and the drawing procedure are known, the color of the next ball cannot be determined.

Step-by-Step Solution

A red first draw does not logically force a blue second draw.
Additional information is required.
