The probability of drawing a red marble and then a green marble is:
P = 1/6.
<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>
In the jar we have a total of 16 marbles, such that:
- 10 are green.
- 2 are blue
- 4 are red.
First, the probability of getting a red marble is give by the quotient between the number of red marbles and the total number of marbles:
p = 4/16 = 1/4
Now we need to draw a green one, the probability is computed in the same way, but this time there are 15 marbles, because we already took one.
q = 10/15
The joint probability (first drawing red, then green) is given by the product between the individual probabilities:
P = p*q = (1/4)*(10/15) = 10/60 = 1/6
