I have a simple question for you guys but I am studying for exams and I honestly forgot how this was done.

Here is the problem:

"A vase contains 4 white marbles, 3 red and 2 green. You draw marbles 2 without putting the first one back after the second.

What are the chances that you draw a red marble after the first one was green? What are the chances that you draw 2 white marbles? What are the chances that you draw a white and a red marble?"

"A vase contains 4 white marbles, 3 red and 2 green. You draw marbles 2 without putting the first one back after the second.

What are the chances that you draw a red marble after the first one was green?

What are the chances that you draw 2 white marbles?

What are the chances that you draw a white and a red marble?"

I see I gotta calculate P(A ∩ B) / P(B) but how do I calculate P(A ∩ B) then?

Also the third question from my problem is completely puzzling me even more than the others

I don't have any answers and I have come up with like 100 different answers and I don't even know if any of them are right since I can't compare them to the actual answers and I don't know how to calculate it at all
