There are ten marbles in a bag. There are two marbles of each color. Each color has one solid and one translucent marble. Two marbles are drawn from the bag. What is the probability that the first marble is green or the second marble is translucent?

I'm very confused about this sentence, the first marble is green or the second marble is translucent. Does that mean I should calculate P(the first ball is green and the second ball is transparent) +P(the first ball is not green and the second ball is translucent) , and there are four situations. P=44/90. Am I right?

X P(X=x) Geoff is running a carnival game. He has 15 marbles in a bag: there are 4 green marbles, 7 red marbles and 4 yellow marbles. To play a round of the game, a player randomly takes out a marble from the bag, notes the color and replaces it, then pulls a second marble from the bag and notes the color. So in effect, the player pulls 2 marbles from the bag. (However, the first marble is put back...

Suppose you have five marbles in a bag, three green (G1, G2, G3) and two red (R1 and R2). You conduct an experiment where you continue to select colored marbles one at a time at random from the bag. You stop selecting marbles when you select a red marble. Without replacement. Display the possible outcomes in a tree diagram. Let x denote the discrete random variable that represents the total number of green marbles that can be selected before a...
