Answer:

a) 10/21 b) 5/21 c)1/21

Step-by-step explanation:

a) your have 7 choice and 5 or them or red, 5/7.  You do not replace the red marble, so for your second draw, you now only have 6 choices and of those 6 choices only 4 of them are now red or 4/6 or 2/3.  We multiple these two numbers together:

5/7(2/3) = 10/21

b) For the first draw, you have 5 red marbles available out of a total 7 marbles or 5/7.  The second draw now only has 6 marbles and 2 of them or yellow to make 2/6 or 1/3 (simplified).  We multiply these together.

5/7(1/3) =5/21

c)  I am assuming that you are still selecting 2 marbles.  The first draw would be 2/7.  This time I am selecting yellow and there are only 2 choices for yellow.  My next draw will only have 6 marbles and only 1 of them will be yellow, so 1/6.  We multiply these together

2/7(1/6) = 2/42 or 1/21
