A bag contains five red marbles, two orange marbles, one yellow marble, and two green marbles. Two marbles are drawn from the bag.What is the approximate probability one of the chosen marbles is orange and one of the chosen marbles is green?

Answer
A
0.02222
B
0.04444
C
0.08889
D
0.13333

Explanation

There are 2 orange marbles and 2 green marbles, so there are 2 × 2 = 4 ways to choose one of each. The bag has 10 marbles total, giving 10 × 9 ÷ 2 = 45 possible pairs. Thus the probability is 4/45 ≈ 0.08889, which is choice C.
