There are twelve marbles in a bag (7 green, 4 yellow, and 1 blue). What is the probability that you pull a green marble (and keep it) and then pull another green marble?

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 7+4+1=12 marbles in the bag. The chances of drawing a green one on the first draw is 7/12. The chance of drawing a green marble on the second draw is 6/11 (since you didn't replace the first marble you drew).

To find the probability, you just multiply these fractions: 7/12*6/11= 7/22 (reduced fraction).
