Answer: 12/17
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of probability with replacement
n(red) = 3
n(green) = 4
n(blue) = 3
n(speckled) = 3
n(yellow) = 4
Total = 17
The probability of getting a green = number of green / total number
That is
p(green) = 4/17
Also
p(red) = 3/17
" and " in probability means multiplication , therefore:
the probability of getting a green and then a red will be
4/17 x 3/17 = 12/17
