Probability of Outcome 1 Probability of Outcome 2 = Probability of Outcomes 1 and 2
The following example will illustrate:
A box contains 3 blue marbles, 2 green marbles, and 4 red marbles. If one marble is selected at random, and a second marble is selected without replacing the first, what is the probability that both marbles chosen are blue?
Probability of blue on 1st draw:
