Answer:

Choosing green marble: 1/4

Choosing Red marble: 1/3

Explanation:

The probability of choosing a green marble is 1/4, because out of the total marbles in the bag (4), there is only 1 green marble. YOU WILL NOT REPLACE IT in the bag, so now you have only 3 marbles left in the bag. Out of those 3 marbles only 1 is red. Thats why the probability of choosing red is 1/3
