    Step-by-step explanation:

    A bag contains 8 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 7 green marbles.

    Total = 18 marbles.

    Probability of drawing three red marbles = probability of drawing one red without replacement + probab of drawing another without reeplacement + probab of drawing a third without replacement.

    Probability of drawing three red marbles = 8/18 + 7/17 + 6/16 = 0.4444 + 0.4118 + 0.3750 = 1.2312.
