What is the probability the first marble will be green and the second marble will be red? Enter answer as a faction (original or a reduced fraction) or as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places with a 0 to the left of the decimal point. If appropriate enter answer as an integer. Do not enter answer as a percent. What is the probability that one marble will be a green and the other marble is red? Enter answer as a faction (original fraction or a reduced fraction) or as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places with a 0 to the left of the decimal point. If appropriate enter answer as an integer. Do not enter answer as a percent.

Explanation / Answer

There are total 20 marbles in a jar.
Selecting 2 marble from these can be done in 20C2 wyas = 190

First marble green and second red can be selected in 4C1*5C1 = 20 ways

hence probability = 20/190 = 0.1053

Probability that one marble will be a green and other is red = 2/19 = 0.105
