A bag has 9 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 3 are blue. Melissa chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that the first marble is blue and the second is green? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

pr (blue) = 1/3 or 0.33

Pr(green without replacement) = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of possible outcomes/ number of total outcomes

Total number of outcomes is the sum of all the marbles, given as 9

Pr ( first marble blue) = no of blue marbles/ total number of marbles

= 3/9 = 1/3 or 0.333

Second marble is chosen without replacement- this means that the total outcome has reduced by 1, total number of marbles has reduced to 8 because there was no replacement.

Pr (second marble is green) = number of green marble/ total number of marbles without replacing the first marble

= 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

I hope this helps.
