Answer: B. [tex]\dfrac{1}{98}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A hat contains four red marbles, two blue marbles, seven green marbles, and one orange marble.
Total marbles = 4+2+7+1 = 14
P(Blue)= [tex]\dfrac{2}{14}=\dfrac{1}{7}[/tex]
P(Orange) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{14}[/tex]
if we randomly select two marbles , then the probability of selecting one will be orange and one will be blue marble = P(Blue) x P(Orange) [both events are independent]
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{7}\times\dfrac{1}{14}=\dfrac{1}{98}[/tex]
Hence, the probability that one will be orange and one will be blue is [tex]\dfrac{1}{98}[/tex].
Therefore , the correct answer is B. [tex]\dfrac{1}{98}[/tex].
