Question

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?

Answer 1

[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 2

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)`
