P( both same colour) = P(both blue) + P(both red) + P(both orange)
= 4/17 * 3/16 + 8/17 * 7/16 + 5/17 * 4/16 = 3/68 + 7/34 + 5/68 = 11/34 Answer
P( second marble being red) = P(first marble not being red) * P( second being red)
= 9/17 * 8/16 = 9/17 * 1/2 = 9/34 answer
P(first ble and second orange) = 4/17 * 5/16 = 5/68 answer
