Peter is giving marbles to some children at a carnival. He has 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. If Peter selects a marble randomly without looking, what is the probability that he will give a blue marble to the first child and then a yellow marble to the second child? (5 points)
