you have a bucket that contains 3 red baseballs , 4 white baseballs, and 5 green baseballs. you are going to pick out one baseball, leave it out, and then pick another baseball. what is the probability of picking out a white baseball followed by a green baseball?

Answer:

5/44

Explanation:

3 plus 4 plus 5 is 12 so for a white it is 4/12 or 1/3

then you take out the white baseball and you want a green which is 5/11 3 red 3 white 5 green

5/11 times 1/3 is 5/33

so the odds of picking both is 5/33
