Probability = 6/(14) * 5/13

= 3/7 * 5/13

=15/91

The total amount of marbles: 6+5+3=14

The probability that your first pick is red: 614

The likelihood that the second pick is red: 513, remember you already picked a red one!

 

Multiply them together to get: 614513=30182, and just simplify that yourself to get the answer!

 

I hope this helped!
