Total number of marble = 5 + 4 + 9 =18

Probability = required outcome / all possible outcome

Number of red marble = 5

p( drawing a red marble) = 5/18

Number of blue marble= 9

p(drawing a blue marble after drawing a red marble)= 9/17

p( drawing a red marble and then a blue marble if marble are not replaced) = 5/18 x 9/17

= 45 / 306

But we are to round to the nearest of tenth of percentage

Hence 45/306 = 45/306 x 100% = 14.7%
