PLEASE HELP ME! I ONLY HAVE A LIMITED TIME!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of purple markers = 2

Number of black marker = 1

Number of red markers = 3

Number of yellow markers = 2

Number of blue markers = 2

Total number of markers = 10

Probability to select randomly a red marker = $\frac{\text{Number of red markers}}{\text{Total number of markers}}$

                                                                         = $P(red)=\frac{3}{10}$

Now we keep with us and randomly select a marker again.

So remaining markers with us = (10 - 1) = 9

Probability of the randomly selected marker to be yellow P(yellow)

= $\frac{\text{Number of yellow markers}}{\text{Number of remaining markers}}$

= $\frac{2}{9}$

Probability of both the events (selecting red AND yellow) = P(red) × P(yellow)

= $\frac{3}{10}\times \frac{2}{9}$

= $\frac{6}{90}$

= $\frac{1}{15}$

Therefore,Option (C) will be the answer.
