Question

A bag contains 9 marbles: 5 are green, 2 are red, and 2 are blue.

David chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that the first marble is green and the second
is red? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 5/9 x 2/8. The probability that the first marble is green and the second is red is 13.8%. In fraction form, the answer is 5/9 x 2/8 because the two outcomes must be multiplied. I really hope that helps!
