Question

Kendra has a bowl containing 10 blue marbles, 15 yellow marbles, 5 green marbles, and 6 red marbles of the same size. She will randomly pull out a marble, keep it outside the bowl, and then pull out another marble. What is the probability she will draw a red marble and then a yellow marble?. . 1/8. . 5/72. . 1/14. . 3/20

Answer 1

Given:
10 blue marbles ; 15 yellow marbles, 5 green marbles, 6 red marbles
A total of 36 marbles.

Probabilities:
1st marble: red = 6/36
2nd marble: yellow = 15/35

6/36 * 15/35 = 6*15 / 36*35 = 90/1260 = 1/14

The probability that Kendra will draw a red marble and then a yellow marble is 1/14.
