Question

Peter is giving marbles to some children at a carnival. He has 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. If Peter selects a marble randomly without looking, what is the probability that he will give a blue marble to the first child and then a yellow marble to the second child?

Answer 1

P(blue marble)=2/6
p(yellow marble)=1/4
p(yellow&blue marble)=2/6+1/4=1/3
