(a)  P = %283%2F13%29%2A%282%2F13%29 = 6%2F169.            ANSWER


         13 in this problem is the total number of items.




(b)  The events 'green' and 'blue' are independent.    ANSWER


      Any two outcomes of any two single/separate drawing 
      are independent in this experiment.

Solved.
