Answer:

45

Explanation:

There are 14 total marbles. The probability of drawing a yellow marble on the first draw is 3/14. Given replacement, the probability on the second draw is the same as on the first draw, so the probability of black marble on the second draw is 6/14. The probability of drawing first a yellow marble then a black marble is 3/14 * 6/14 = 18/196.
