Answer:

P(blue then red)=5/169

Explanation:

the probability of picking the blue is 4/26 it's replaced so the total jellybeans doesn't change therefore the sample space doesn't change. the probability of picking a red is 5/26

to find the probability of picking them in that order, you multiply the two together

(4/26)x(5/26)=20/676

reducing that we get:

P(blue then red)=5/169
