The probability of choosing an unshaded cube followed by a shaded cube is 2/9

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The sample space is given as:

Unshaded shapes = 10

Shaded shapes = 9

There are 5 unshaded cubes and 4 shaded cubes.

So, the required probability is:

P = 5/10 * 4/9

Evaluate the product

P = 2/9

Hence, the probability of choosing an unshaded cube followed by a shaded cube is 2/9
