  1. a) prob(red) = 4/16 = 1/4
    your are replacing the marble, so you are back to 16
    prob(blue) = 7/16
    so prob(red, then blue) = (1/4)(7/16) = 7/64 or appr .109

    b) prob(red) = 1/4 , just as before
    but you are not returning the marble, so there are only 15 left
    prob(blue) = 7/15
    prob(red, then blue) = (1/4)(7/15) = 7/60 = appr .117

    c) leave it up to you ....
