A bag contains 9 marbles: 2 are green, 2 are red, and 5 are blue. Deon chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back,
chooses another one at random. What is the probability that the first marble is green and the second is red? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Answer: probability for 1st marble being green is 2/9 and 2nd marble being red is 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this is correct. since there are 9 marbles and 2 of them are green, you do 2/9 which is 2/9 in its simplest form. And since you didn't put back the first marble there are 8 marbles left and 2 of them are red. You do 2/8 which in its simplest form is 1/4. I hope this helps
