A bag contains 9 marbles 2 green 3 blue and 4 red what is the pobability of picking a green then a non-green?
Short answer: 14/81
There is a 2/9 chance of picking a green marble the first time.
Since this leaves 8 marbles (only one of which is green; you took the other one), that leaves an 7/8 chance of picking any other colour the second time.
To find the overall probability, you simply multiply the two values (2/9 * 7/8 = 14/81). This is simple to understand. You can only get a green marble every 2 out of 9 tries. For each of these 2 times, you have a 7/8 chance of getting a different colour the second time. So, you have a 7/8 chance every 2/9 times. Simply multiply them to get the total number of possibilities.

How do you Write a combination problem and solve it?
A combination problem essentially asks for two answers from different mathematical areas. A simple example could be, "A boy has a bag of marbles. Four marbles are blue. Three marbles are red. Five marbles are white. How many marbles does he have all together? What are the chances of picking a blue marble at random?" The two areas being addressed are simple addition and probability. There are a total of 12 marbles. There is a 1:3 chance of picking a blue marble at random.
