Answer:

1/3.

Explanation:

The probability that the red cube WON'T be picked on the first draw is 2/3. This is because there is a 1/3 probability of picking a green cube, added to a 1/3 probability of picking a blue cube.

The probability that the red cube WON'T be picked on the second draw is 1/2. This is because one cube has already been picked, so there are two remaining. You can only pick one of the two.

(2/3) * (1/2) = (2 * 1) / (3 * 2) = 2 / 6 = 1/3.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Let's say you picked the blue one first. You have a 2/3 chance of doing that, and now you're left with 2. Now, to pick the green one, you have a 1/2 chance. Multiply that and you see that you have a 1/3 chance of picking it last.
