Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles is 6 + 8 + 4 = 18]

If the first marble drawn is yellow, that happens with a probability of 8/18

So the important thing to note is that now there are 17 marbles,

Now a red marble is drawn. We didn't replace the yellow.

There are 6 red marbles.

So the chances of getting a red marble is 6/17

Answer. P(Y then R) = 8/18 * 6/17 = 48/306

48 / 306 reduces down to 8/51  = 0.156
