A bag has 2 green marbles, 3 red marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability that you pick a red marble, do not replace it, and pick yellow marble?

[prob. (red marble)= 3/8] x [prob. (yellow marble)= 3/7] = Prob.(getting a red marble without replacement and picking a yellow marble) = 9/56 or 16% chance.

Hope this helps!

Answer:
(9)/(56)

Step-by-step explanation:


(red)/(total) and
(yellow)/(remaining)


(3)/(2+3+3) *
(3)/(2+2+3)

=
(3)/(8) *
(3)/(7)

=
(3*3)/(8*7)

=
(9)/(56)
