Question

The table below shows the number of marbles of different colors in a bag:

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

There are a total of 5+8+2=15 marbles.  There's a 5/15 chance of drawing a red marble in the first trial.  Then, there are 4 red marbles and 14 total marbles left, so afterwards, there's a probability of 4/14 that the second marble is red.  The probability overall is found by multiplying these together, so the first answer is the best.

There are 2+6+7=15 cakes.  There's a 6/15 chance that the first cake selected will be a pineapple cake, and then a 2/14 chance that the second cake selected will be a strawberry cake, by the same logic as above.  This is equal to 12/210.  The first answer is the best option.
