A jar contains 2 green marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. A marble is chosen at random from the jar and replaced. Find the possibility that the first marble is green and the second is yellow.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2/27

Explanation:

• Number of green marbles = 2

,

• Number of blue marbles = 4

,

• Number of yellow marbles = 3

Total = 2+4+3 =9

• Probability of choosing a green marble = 2/9

,

• Probability of choosing a yellow marble = 3/9

Therefore, the possibility that the first marble is green and the second is yellow is:
