Answer to a math question You choose a marble at random from a bag containing 7 green marbles, 3 purple marbles and 2 red marbles. After you pick the marble, you don't replace it and choose again. Find the probability of P(purple then green)
green marbles = 7
purple marbles = 3
red marbles = 2
total marbles = green + purple + red = 7 + 3 + 2 = 12
probability of purple = 3/12
probability of green 2nd pick (without replacement) = 7/11
probability of purple then green = \frac{3}{12}\cdot\frac{7}{11}=\frac{21}{132}=\frac{7}{44}
