Answer: 4/35

Explanation:

Number of red marbles = 4

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of green marbles = 6

Total number of marbles = 4+5+6 = 15

When a red marble is picked, the probability is 4/15, then to pick a green marble after that, we have 14 marbles left and probability of picking green is 6/14.

Now, probability of choosing a red marble from the bag, not putting it back, and then choosing a green marble will be:

= 4/15 × 6/14

= 24/210

= 4/35
