Question

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 5 green marbles. What is the probability of randomly selecting a red marble then, without replacing it, randomly selecting a green marble?

Answer 1

A 50% chance.

Answer 2

Did it give answer choices?

Answer 3

First we set up the fractions :

Selecting red: \(\dfrac{3}{10}\)

Since we're not replacing, the total goes down by one

Selecting green: \(\dfrac{5}{9}\)

Now multiply the fractions \(\dfrac{3}{10}*\dfrac{5}{9}\) = ?
