What is the probability of randomly choosing a green marble after you have chosen red?

Answer:

0,40789

Step-by-step explanation:

To pick 1 red marble (from 5 red) from all 20 marbles is 5/20 = 0.25

To pick 1 green marble (from 3 green) from 19 because we already took red marble is 3/19 = 0.15789

The probability of randomly choosing a green marble after you have chosen red is 3/68.

Given

A jar has 20 marbles: 3 green, 12 blue, 5 red.

Probability;

In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment or a subset of the sample space.

The total number of marbles = 20

The number of green marbles= 3

The number of blue marbles = 12

The number of red marbles = 5

The probability of choosing a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles

= 5/20

The probability of choosing a green marble is =  Number of green marbles / New total number of marbles

= 3/19

Therefore,

The probability of randomly choosing a green marble after you have chosen red is;

[tex]\rm=\dfrac{5}{20}\times \dfrac{3}{19}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}}\times \dfrac{3}{19}\\\\ = \dfrac{3}{68}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of randomly choosing a green marble after you have chosen red is 3/68.
