A bag contains 44 red and 66 blue balls. Two balls are drawn successively without replacement. Let EE be the event that the first ball drawn is red and FF be the event that the second ball drawn is blue. (i) Calculate P(E)P(E). (ii) Find P(F∣E)P(F\mid E). (iii) Hence determine the probability that the first ball is red and the second ball is blue.
