Answer: c. 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability of getting a green bead = 18% = 0.18

The probability of getting a purple bead = 40% =0.40

If replacement occurs, then the probability of choosing a green bead and then a purple bead will be :-

[tex]0.18\times0.40=0.072[/tex]

Hence, the probability of choosing a green bead and then a purple bead = 0.072
