Final answer:

The probability of drawing a yellow marble and then a green marble is 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of selecting a yellow marble and then a green marble, we need to first determine the total number of marbles in the bag after the first draw. Since the first marble drawn is yellow and not replaced, there are 3 green marbles and 3 yellow marbles left in the bag. Therefore, the probability of drawing a yellow marble and then a green marble is:

P(Yellow and Green) = (3/9) * (3/8) = 9/72 = 0.125
