A jar contains a mixture of 12 black marbles, 10 red marbles, and 18 white marbles, all the same size. If two marbles are drawn from the jar without being replaced, what would the probability be:

1. [tex]$\frac{51}{260}$[/tex] [tex]$\square$[/tex] of drawing two black marbles
2. [tex]$\frac{1}{13}$[/tex] [tex]$\square$[/tex] of drawing a white marble, then a black marble
3. [tex]$\frac{9}{65}$[/tex] [tex]$\square$[/tex] of drawing a black marble, then a red marble
4. [tex]$\frac{11}{130}$[/tex] [tex]$\square$[/tex] of drawing two white marbles

To match each probability with the corresponding event, let's denote the probabilities we calculated as follows:

1. Probability of drawing two black marbles: [tex]\( \frac{51}{260} \approx 0.0846 \)[/tex]
2. Probability of drawing a white marble, then a black marble: [tex]\( \frac{36}{260} \approx 0.1385 \)[/tex]
3. Probability of drawing two white marbles: [tex]\( \frac{51}{260} \approx 0.1962 \)[/tex]
4. Probability of drawing a black marble, then a red marble: [tex]\( \frac{20}{260} \approx 0.0769 \)[/tex]

Now, let's match these probabilities with the given expressions, keeping in mind the most approximate values:

1. [tex]\( \frac{51}{260} \approx 0.0846 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( \frac{1}{13} \approx 0.0769 \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( \frac{9}{65} \approx 0.1385 \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( \frac{11}{130} \approx 0.0846 \)[/tex]

Aligning the approximations with the given results, we get:

1. [tex]\( \frac{51}{260} \approx 0.1962 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( \frac{1}{13} \approx 0.0769 \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( \frac{9}{65} \approx 0.1385 \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( \frac{11}{130} \approx 0.0846 \)[/tex]

Thus, the matching is:

1. [tex]\( \frac{51}{260} \)[/tex] is the probability of drawing two black marbles.
2. [tex]\( \frac{1}{13} \)[/tex] is the probability of drawing a black marble, then a red marble.
3. [tex]\( \frac{9}{65} \)[/tex] is the probability of drawing a white, then a black marble.
4. [tex]\( \frac{11}{130} \)[/tex] is the probability of drawing two white marbles.

Therefore, the matches are:

1. [tex]\( \boxed{\frac{51}{260}} \)[/tex] of drawing two black marbles.
2. [tex]\( \boxed{\frac{9}{65}} \)[/tex] of drawing a white, then a black marble.
3. [tex]\( \boxed{\frac{11}{130}} \)[/tex] of drawing two white marbles.
4. [tex]\( \boxed{\frac{1}{13}} \)[/tex] of drawing a black, then a red marble.
