A bag contains 3 red marbles, 2 yellow marbles, 4 orange marbles, and a purple marble. What is the probability of picking a red marble, not putting it back, and then picking a yellow marble?​

the probability of picking a yellow marble is 2 from 10 since there are 2 yellow marbles. the probability of it being red is 3 from 10 because there are 3 red marbles.

Hope this helps for an explanation!

Probability for red marble is 3/10 then picking the yellow would be 2/9
Maybe could be wrong
