I'm not sure if an equation is needed. Since you put the marble back into the bag the odds are still 50/50 that you will draw either color.

If you would have left it out then it would be dependent because the ratio would change.

Answer:

P(W) and P(B) are independent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bag contains 5 white marbles and 5 blue marbles. You randomly select one marble from the bag and put it back. Then, you randomly select another marble from the bag.

To find : Which calculation proves that randomly selecting a white marble the first time and a blue marble the second time are two independent events?

Solution :

Independent events - When the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring.

We have given, 5 white marbles and 5 blue marbles.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Total number of outcomes = 5+5=10

The probability that a white marble the first time,

P(W)=\frac{5}{10}= \frac{1}{2}

Their is a replacement occurs,

The probability that a blue marble the second time,

P(B)=\frac{5}{10}= \frac{1}{2}

The probability of occurrence of a Blue marble is not affected by occurrence of the probability that we get white marble in first attempt.

Hence, P(W) and P(B) are independent events.

You can solve both equations for y and then set equal to each other. Then use the quadratic equation to solve for x
