Brian has a bag that contains 14 red marbles and 12 yellow marbles. He selects a marble at random, and then, without replacing the first one, selects another marble at random.

Question

What is the probability that Brian selects a red marble and then a yellow marble? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

P(red and yellow) ≈ %

Answer 1

26 total marbles, so

P(red,yellow) = 14/26 * 12/25

Answer 2

51%
