How can I find the total resistance of this circuit (R_total) and the resistance of resistor Rb2?
I don't understand why the answer is: Rb2 = R2 || R_total = 290k Ohm
This is very hard for me to understand. So please explain to me.

To no3lunch: I updated the picture. Sorry I didn't write the current in the previous picture. http://i51.tinypic.com/2dcfpxu.jpg The answer for R_total is 10 MOhm.
The question: (because I am afraid I might miss some info of the Q) An oscilloscope has 1 Mohm input impedance and is used with a 10 to 1 probe. The probe is used to measure a circuit which has 10uA current flow from a 9V source and should bias to 3V. How much voltage shift does the probe induce?
I think I might understand why R_total is 10M Ohm. ( By my guess). Because a 10 to 1 probe has R_total = 10M. If this is true, I just don't understand how Rb2 = R2 || R_total. Why R2 parallel to R_total is equal to Rb2.
