well the first probability is 4/7 (4 yellow out of seven total). then he picks one and REPLACES IT (key words) this means the total marbles wont change  so do 4/7*3/7*3/7
in other words do 4*3*3=what @thisotherliz

for further problems know that if it doesn't say he/she replaced whatever item was took out then make it into fractions with the total going down each time its like if u had 5 cookies and u ate 1 u wouldn't still have 5 u would have 4 so that would at first be 5/5 (because they are all cookies) then for the second cookie its 4/4 if it says it was replaced just don't change the total amount Plz ask me for more help but also read all of this @thisotherliz
