6 red marbles 9 green marbles and 5 blue marbles two marbles are drawn without replacement what is the probability of choosing a green and then a blue marble
First draw:
there are 6 red + 9 green + 5 blue = 20 marbles
We draw 9 possible green out of 20 total marbles = 9/20
Second draw:
We don't replace, so we have 6 red + 8 green + 5 blue = 19 marbles
We draw 5 possible blue of out 19 total marbles = 5/19
Our total probability, since each event is independent, is:
9/20 * 5/19 = 9/76
