Final answer:

The probability of drawing two green marbles and two non-green marbles from a bag containing four green marbles, three red marbles, and two yellow marbles is 60 sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing exactly two green marbles from a bag containing four green marbles, three red marbles, and two yellow marbles can be calculated using combinations.

Since we need exactly two green marbles, we can choose 2 green marbles out of 4 in C(4, 2) ways.

The remaining two marbles must be non-green, so we can choose 2 non-green marbles out of 5 (3 red + 2 yellow) in C(5, 2) ways.

Therefore, the total number of sets with two green marbles is C(4, 2) * C(5, 2) = 6 * 10 = 60 sets.
