20 total marbles....7 are green

probability on first draw is 7/20...and since the marble was not replaced, the probability on the second draw is 6/19. And since they cant happen at the same time, we multiply

7/20 * 6/19 = 42/380 which reduces to 21/190
[tex] \frac{7}{6 + 4 +7 +3} [/tex] x [tex] \frac{7 - 1 }{ 6 + 4 + 7 + 3 - 1} [/tex]

= 21/190

So the answer is option C.

hope this helps
