Question 1045236: a bag contains 5 white marbles 3 black marbles and 2 green marbles in each draw a marble is drawn from the bag and not replaced find the probability of drawing a white then black then green marble in that order

probability of a white marble first is 1/2 or 5/10
now there are 9 left. probability of a black is 3/9 or 1/3
now there are 8 left, probability of a green is 1/4
Multiply these three fractions together, (1/2)(1/3)(1/4)=(1/24)
