The probability of pulling a green marble on the first draw is 8/14. After pulling out one green marble, there are now 13 marbles left in the jar, and 7 of them are green. Therefore, the probability of pulling out a second green marble is 7/13.
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities together:
(8/14) * (7/13) = 56/182
Therefore, the probability that both marbles pulled are green is 56/182 or 28/91.
A jar has 14 marbles and 8 of them are green. You pull 2 marbles without replacement. What is the probability that both are green? Write your answer as a fraction. You do not need to simplify
