Yeah that's what I got as well for the first one but what about the next two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

without replacement means, when you perform the first trial (you pick out a pink marble), the next trial (pick out an orange marble) will be done assuming you pulled the correct marble out of the first trial, so,\[P(pink)=\frac{ 5 }{ 10 }\]so that the probabiity of getting an orange, after you already pulled a pink one out is\[P(Pink|orange)=\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }\]this happens because you perform the second trial with one less marble (the pink that you took out)
