30.There are 10 marble balls, including 5 green, 3 blue, and 2 red, in a container. One ball is picked out then put back, then another ball is selected. What is the probability that a green ball and a blue ball will be selected?

If the order of the balls doesn't matter then it would be

2 * (5/10) * (3/10) = 3/10

P(blue and green)= P(1st is blue and 2nd is green OR 1st is green and 2nd is blue)
= P(1st is blue and 2nd is green) + P(1st is green and 2nd is blue)
= (3/10)(5/10) + (3/10)(5/10)
= 3/10
