A box contains one red and two blue balls. After each random draw, the ball is returned. The first two draws were blue. Find the probability the third draw is blue.
Replacement restores the same composition before each draw. Therefore the draws are independent, and conditioning on the first two blue outcomes does not change the third-draw chance. There are still two blue balls out of three, so the probability is **2/3, A**.
