Answer:

Solution is 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A box contains:

2 red marbles,

3 white marbles,

4 green marbles,

1 blue marble.

=> Total: 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 = 10

After selected a blue one without replacement, the remaining number: 10 - 1 = 9

=> Probability of drawing a green one: P = 4/9.

Hope this helps!
