A game is played, where a die is tossed and a marble selected from a bag. Bag M contains 3 red marbles (R) and 2 green marbles (G). Bag N contains 2 red marbles and 8 green marbles. A fair six-sided die is tossed. If a 3 or 5 appears on the die, bag M is selected (M). If any other number appears, bag N is selected (N). A single marble is then drawn at random from the selected bag. (a) Copy and complete the probability tree diagram on your answer sheet.

(b)
(i) (ii) (iii)
Write down the probability that bag M is selected and a green marble drawn from it. Find the probability that a green marble is drawn from either bag. Given that the marble is green, calculate the probability that it came from Bag M.
