5 Playground equipment consists of swings ( \(S\) ), roundabouts ( \(R\) ), climbing frames ( \(C\) ) and play-houses \(( P )\). The numbers of pieces of equipment in each of 3 playgrounds are as follows.
Playground \(X\)Playground \(Y\)Playground \(Z\)
\(3 S , 2 R , 4 P\)\(6 S , 3 R , 1 C , 2 P\)\(8 S , 3 R , 4 C , 1 P\)
Each day Nur takes her child to one of the playgrounds. The probability that she chooses playground \(X\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\). The probability that she chooses playground \(Y\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\). The probability that she chooses playground \(Z\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\). When she arrives at the playground, she chooses one piece of equipment at random.
  1. Find the probability that Nur chooses a play-house.
  2. Given that Nur chooses a climbing frame, find the probability that she chose playground \(Y\).
