Notice that after drawing a marble from the jar, it is dropped back into it; therefore, the probability of picking a marble from any color remains constant.

Therefore, the probability of drawing a green marble at any time is


P(green)=(5)/(9+5)=(5)/(14)=

Notice that the events of drawing a marble, putting it back in the jar, and drawing a second time are independent.

Thus, the answer is 5/14
