Find out the probability of each event

so

Event 1: choosing a white marble from Bag A

total marbles Bag A=12

total white marbles Bag A=6

P=6/12

simplify

P=1/2 or P=0.50

Event 2: choosing a white marble from Bag B.

total marbles Bag B=20

total white marbles Bag B=9

P=9/20 or P=0.45

Event 3: choosing a red marble from Bag B

total marbles Bag B=20

total red marbles Bag B=0

P=0/20 -----> P=0

Event 4: choosing a white or green marble from Bag A

total marbles Bag A=12

total white or green marble from Bag A=12

P=12/12 --------> P=1

therefore

The answer is

Event 3, Event 1, Event 2, Event 4
