Baye's theorem says:
P ( woman from list 1 | given man selected) =
P ( man selected | woman from list 1) * P(woman from list 1) / P(man selected)
A woman from list 1 is added to list 2.
The probability of man from the augmented list of 3 women and 6 men is 6/9 = 2/3
Probability of woman from list 1 is 5/7.
Probability that man is selected 6/8 = 3/4
So 2/3 * 5/7 divided by 3/4 = 2/3 * 5/7 * 4/3 = 40/84 = 20/42 = 10/21
