Probability is defined as the <u>likelihood or the certainty</u> that an event is going to<u> occur or happen.</u>
The probability of randomly choosing a red and then a green marble is .
The total number of marbles = 20
The number of green marbles= 3
The number of blue marbles = 12
The number of red marbles = 5
<u>The probability of choosing a red marble</u> = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
= 5/20
<u>In simplest fraction form</u> =
We are told in the question that you keep the red marble you choose, So this means the <u>total number of marbles</u> left reduces to 19
<u>The probability of choosing a green marble is</u> = Number of green marbles / New total number of marbles
= 3/19
Therefore, <u><em>the probability of randomly choosing a red and then a green marble is </em></u>
P (Red) x P(Green)
= 1/4 x 3/19
=
