Answer:

0.0455

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The formula for calculator probability is </u>

# of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

<u>The total number of marbles in the bag: </u>

7+3+2=12

<u>Probability of the first marble being blue:</u>

3/12

<u>Probability of the second marble being blue:</u>

2/11 -- 2 because only 2 blue marbles left after drawing the first one out, 11 because after taking the first marble out, we have 11 marbles left in the bag

<u>Formula for both events happening:</u>

p(A and B) = p(A) * p(B)

In this problem,

A = first one blue

B = second one blue

<u>Probability that if two marbles are drawn out of the bag, both are blue:</u>

3/12 x 2/11 = 0.045454

<u>Rounded answer:</u>

0.0455 (or 4.55%)

Step-by-step explanation:

C= .07=70%. So I know that it is not C

A= 30% but the question doesn't even have a 3 in it, so therefore it cannot be A.

B= Is basically the same concept as A. There is no .3 or 3 peroid.

So I say D
