A bag has 4 green marbles, 3 red marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability that you pick a red marble, do not replace it, and pick a yellow marble?

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

the total number of marbles is 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 marbles

the probability you will pick a red marble in the first draw is 3/10

the probability you will draw a yellow marble next (without replacement) is 3/9

so to get the "total probability" just multiply them

3/10 x 3/9

does that help?
