P (red) then P (yellow)

3/8 * 3/7 = 9/56

Diamond Fischer · Answer 2

Ok ... so there is a total of 8 marbles. its a 3 out of 8 chance that you would get a red marble, when you do get it, you dont replace it so there is now a total of 7 marbles. Then you want a yellow marble so that is now 3 out of 7 chance.

(3/8) * (3/7) = is about 16% chance
