Say I have a bag with 10 balls (either red or blue), and I know that there are 8 balls that are red. How do I calculate the probability of drawing a a red ball $>75\%$ of the time if the first ball I picked without replacements is red? Hope this is clear. Thanks!

$\begingroup$ To what "time" do you refer? Does the 75% include the first ball you drew? Do you mean you know exactly eight balls are red or that you know there exist eight red balls in the bag? $\endgroup$– whuber ♦Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 20:09

$\begingroup$ thanks your question was enough to answer my original question. I was not thinking straight by not defining time correctly. $\endgroup$– AhdeeCommented Feb 24, 2014 at 20:18
