    Since these are done in order, and without replacement:

    Lila selecting black = 7/12 (7 black ribbons out of 12 ribbons total)

    Jessica * then * selecting a green ribbon = 5/11 (5 green ribbons left out of 11 ribbons left)

    Chance of this specific event = (7/12) * (5/11) = 35/132 Mike · 6 years ago
