A basket contains 10 red apples and 7 green apples. One apple is selected at random and is not replaced. A second apple is then selected. What is the probability that the first apple is green and the second apple is red?

Hi! The percentage of 7 green out of 17 total in means of getting one selected is 41%. So, if it is 10 out of 17, there is a 58% chance of a red apple being picked is present.
