Answer 2

1/14

Explanation:

Assuming you mean that there are 2 red, 2 green, and 4 blue marbles, there are a total of 8 marbles.

On the first draw, the probability the marble is red is 2/8.

On the second draw, there's one less marble, so the probability of selecting a green marble is 2/7.

The total probability is:

2/8 × 2/7 = 1/14
