Question

A bag contains five red marbles, two orange marbles, one yellow marble, and two green marbles. Two marbles are drawn from the bag.

What is the approximate probability one of the chosen marbles is orange and one of the chosen marbles is green?

0.02222
0.04444
0.08889
0.13333

Answer 1

There are C(2,1)*C(2,1)=4 favorable pairs and C(10,2)=45 total pairs, so the probability = 4/45 ≈ 0.088888...

Answer: 0.08889.
