Solution:
P ( 1 black and 1 white balls ) / P ( at least one black ball )
= [ ( 3 / 5 )( 2 / 4 ) + ( 2 / 5 )( 3 / 4 ) ] / [ 1 - ( 3 / 5 )( 2 / 4 ) ]
= 0.6 / 0.7
= 6 / 7

Remarks for conditional probability:
Given event B has occurred, the conditional prob. for event A to occur
= No. of outcomes favourable to A and B / Total no. of possible outcomes favourable to B

In the above, the [No. of outcomes favourable to A and B] is [1 black and 1 white balls] while the [Total no. of possible outcomes favourable to B ] is [ at least one black ball ].
